However, the existence of multiple optimal weights in multiplier DEA models implies the non-uniqueness of the cross-efficiency evaluation. This is normally dealt with using secondary goals that enable the optimal weighting vectors to be chosen. In this paper, a new method to discriminate between optimal weighting profiles is proposed based on bargaining problems and the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution. In this approach, the input and output multipliers are agreed upon by the peer DMUs. %K Data envelopment analysis %K Cross-efficiency %K Bargaining theory %K Kalai- Smorodinsky solution %~
