How Different Is the Efficiency of Public and Private Water Companies in Asia?
用随机成本前沿方法分析亚洲及太平洋地区水务公司样本，发现私营与公共水务公司的效率没有显著差异。
Several studies have compared the \n efficiency of publicly and privately owned water utilities \n and reached conflicting conclusions on the impact of \n ownership on efficiency. This article provides further \n evidence by estimating a stochastic cost frontier for a \n sample of Asian and Pacific regional water companies. The \n results show that efficiency is not significantly different \n in private companies than in public ones.
