Fur<strong>the</strong>r on,an envelopment model also informs about <strong>the</strong> reference counties for each analysed
county.In table 3 it is shown , for each individual county, <strong>the</strong> county <strong>the</strong>y should be compared to,
according to <strong>the</strong> size <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> used inputs .

B) DEA output oriented VRS model
The same results have been obtained here also, but <strong>the</strong>re is no rule however regarding <strong>the</strong> dimension
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> scores, that is, <strong>the</strong>y should be higher/lower than in input oriented models.
A close analysis reveals that no county has increasing outputs to scale.
