Abstract
The two-level DEA model was introduced to increase the discriminational power of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models. This nonlinear model was presented by Meng et al. (2008) [3], and then converted into a linear model by Kao (2008) [4].In this paper two subjects will be discussed: first, we show that the two-level DEA model is a special case of DEA models where weight restrictions are applied. Then, we express that the nonlinear model is equivalent to the conventional DEA model.
