Public sector output provision is influenced not only by discretionary inputs but also by exogenous environmental factors. In this paper, we extended the literature by developing a conditional DEA estimator of allocative efficiency that allows a decomposition of overall cost efficiency into...

Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models only consider the inputs supplied to the system and the outputs produced from the system in measuring efficiency, ignoring the operations of the internal processes. The results thus obtained sometimes are misleading. This paper discusses the...
