A Comparative Performance Study of Postal Services: A Productive Efficiency Approach

Sergio Perelman and Pierre Pestieau

Annals of Economics and Statistics, 1994, issue 33, 187-202

Abstract: This paper first discusses the notion of economic performance as applied to public enterprises and argues that productive efficiency is an attractive approach to performance measurement for such firms. It then presents an empirical efficiency study of postal services which is aimed at comparing productive performance indicators across countries and at testing the effect of competition and regulation on these indicators.
