We investigate the comparative technical efficiency of producer cooperatives (PCs) and conventional firms (CFs) by …, technical efficiency indicators for each firm in each year are calculated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with reference … to a common production frontier. Subsequently, the measured efficiency scores become the dependent variables of a pooled …

This paper assesses energy efficiency in Swedish industry. Using unique firm-level panel data covering the years 2001 …-2008, the efficiency estimates are obtained for firms in 14 industrial sectors by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The … results show that there was potential to improve energy efficiency in all the sectors and relatively large energy …
