Abstract (EN): This paper enhances cost efficiency measurement methods to account for situations where the input prices can be adjusted. In these circumstances, there are some shortcomings in the cost efficiency measure described in the DEA literature. This paper proposes new models and measures for efficiency evaluation that overcome the limitations of the existing DEA models. The applicability of the measures developed is illustrated in the context of the analysis of bank branch performance.
