It is with sincere regret that the following errors occurred. In Section 2.1, the objective function of (1) should read as  Pm  1 1m s =x Psi¼1 þi ki . Similarly, Eq. (6) on p. 261 in the same min qk ¼ 1 1þ s s =ykr r¼1 r Pm  1 1 s =xki section should read as qk ¼ 1mPsi¼1 þi . 1þ s

On p. 260, the last sentence of the second from the last paragraph should read as ‘‘. . .so for DMU E, its optimal choice is to move to the right of E’’. In the third paragraph of Section 4 on p. 265, the first sentence should read as ‘‘. . .and that J-SBM can be used to uncover a region in the input–output space, where a super-inefficient

DMU would appear S-SBM super-efficient because the S-SBM model cannot account for the slacks associated with weak efficiency.’’ Finally, Theorem 6 states that the J-SBM model is continuous in the input-output space. The result may not hold true when the reference point (i.e., Eq. (11) on p. 263) changes to another frontier point under the variation of inputs and/or outputs, but this issue can be easily corrected by constraining the reference point to be fixated on a specific strongly Pareto-efficient point. The author would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
