| Summary: | Several studies have compared the
efficiency of publicly and privately owned water utilities
and reached conflicting conclusions on the impact of
ownership on efficiency. This article provides further
evidence by estimating a stochastic cost frontier for a
sample of Asian and Pacific regional water companies. The
results show that efficiency is not significantly different
in private companies than in public ones. |
