Abstract :
Elasticity is one of the most important concepts in neoclassical economic theory. In this study a new slack- based elasticity measure is proposed and linear programs are provided to calculate it. In fact, we investigate the optimal scale size of efficient units from the mean of outputs points of view. One important property of this measure is applicable not only in variable technology but also in constant technology.
