The political changes witnessed over the last two decades in
Eastern Europe propitiated the scenario for comparative analyses
between these countries and their counterparts in advanced market
economies. This interest materialised in many studies focused on
productivity and efficiency analysis of firms or industrial
sectors. Nevertheless, not many of them -both at macro and micro
level- applied techniques related to the conceptual framework of
non-parametric frontier efficiency (DEA) and distance functions to
analyse economies of scale, cost efficiency, capacity utilisation
degree or budget constrained profit maximisation. This book,
therefore, provides not only a theoretical framework for these
techniques but also the empirical output obtained from their
application to industrial sectors in seven European countries -
Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Romania and
Spain- from 1995 to 1998. Beyond the perishable character of the
information, this analysis should help enlarge the spectrum of
non-parametric techniques' applications, and should be of interest
to those working in the field, or anyone interested in learning
more about European transition economies.
