Finally, therange of empirical applications is at least as great as the range oftechniques, and many of the applications are of

Efficiency and Ownership in Swedish Electricity Retail Distribution,scale efficiency in urban service areas, but a fairly low level of scale efficiency in rural areas. The results show no significant differences in efficiency between different types of ownership or economic organization.

In all four sectors we find that conventionally measured capital and labor inputs make a significant contribution to productivity. In only one sector do participation indicators contribute significantly. Variation in productive efficiency contributes significantly in all four sectors.

Technical Inefficiency and Productive Decline in the U.S. Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Industry the structural stochastic model are compared with those based on deterministic programming methods, data envelopment analysis. Concordant findings based on these alternative methodologies suggest a perversive pattern of declining technical efficiency in the industry during the period of phased in well-head price deregulation.

Estimating Efficiencies from Frontier Models with Panel Data: A Comparison of Parametric, Non-Parammethod is presented in this framework. This provides a tool allowing to assess the statistical significance of the obtained estimators. All the methods are illustrated in the problem of estimating the inefficiencies of 19 railway companies observed over a period of 14 years (1970–1983).

An empirical example is presented using agricultural data for paddy farmers in a village in India.
