Reply to comments by Soleimani-damaneh and Mostafaee (2006) and Zhang (2006)

In Fukuyama Fukuyama, H., 2000. Returns to scale and scale elasticity in data envelopment analysis. European Journal of Operational Research 125, 93–112], I investigated some mathematical structure on scale elasticity and returns to scale. Soleimani-damaneh and Mostafaee Soleimani-damaneh, M., Mostafaee, A., in press. A comment on “Returns to scale and scale elasticity in data envelopment analysis”. European Journal of Operational Research. doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2006.11.042] and Zhang Zhang, B., in press. A Note on Fukuyama (2000). European Journal of Operational Research. doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2006.11.040] claim that some results, which are related to homogeneity, are incorrect. This note replies to their comments by demonstrating that Fukuyama (2000) results are still valid.
