TL;DR
All BCC models, including those without inputs (or without outputs), can be condensed to models having one less variable (the radial efficiency score) and one less constraint (the convexity constraint).
Abstract
In this paper we consider radial DEA models without inputs (or without outputs), and radial DEA models with a single constant input (or with a single constant output). We demonstrate that (i) a CCR model without inputs (or without outputs) is meaningless; (ii) a CCR model with a single constant input (or with a single constant output) coincides with the corresponding BCC model; (iii) a BCC model with a single constant input (or a single constant output) collapses to a BCC model without inputs (or without outputs); and (iv) all BCC models, including those without inputs (or without outputs), can be condensed to models having one less variable (the radial efficiency score) and one less constraint (the convexity constraint).
