Comparison of Different Measurements of Technical Efficiency: a Study of French Hospitals
by Hervé Leleu and Benoît Dervaux
The enthusiasm for non-parametric techniques of assessing production frontiers in hospitals stems from their ability to take account of the sector's specific features. "Virtually all such techniques use data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology with various hypotheses for returns to scale. In this paper, after examining the theoretical features of various efficiency measurements, we set out to assess the productive efficiency of 137 French public hospitals. We analyse the impact which the choice of efficiency measurement has on score distribution and the outcome of explanatory models of hospital performance. We find that the choice of measurement alters the efficiency score distribution but has little effect on hospital classification in terms of relative performance. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
