Abstract: Applying a two-stage Free Disposal Hull (FDH)/Tobit approach to a sample of 23 European countries, we find that the efficiency of social expenditure for families is positively correlated to per-capita GDP, population size, the education level of people, the weight and the ethics of the public sector.

Keywords: Efficiency of social expenditure for families; free disposal hull; data envelopment analysis; non-discretionary factors. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
