Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | 0003-6846 | Journal: | Applied economics (Print) | Abstract: | Most of the literature on the efficiency effects of regulatory reforms ignores the gradual nature of the implementation of these reforms. This article describes a new simple data manipulation that minimizes data requirements to measure econometrically the impact on efficiency of each stage of multi-stages regulatory reforms. The approach can easily be implemented using standard stochastic frontier software programs. It is illustrated with data on the Spanish port system, which went through a two-stage reform during the 1990s. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/43606 | ISSN: | 0003-6846 | DOI: | 10.1080/00036840600994294 | Source: | Applied Economics[ISSN 0003-6846],v. 41, p. 211-218 |
