- Abstract
- The aim of the paper is to present a statistical methodology allowing the estimation of technical performances of production units within a particular sector of activities. The approach is such that it allows the introduction of exogenous environmental factors explaining a part of the apparent inefficiency. The statistical procedure will be based on the observation of production activities of a set of firms. The method is illustrated through the analysis of technical efficiencies of railway companies.
