Efficiency and productivity analysis of construction companies in Libya / Abdullah Ahmad A. Eltaief

The purpose of this study is to measure and investigate efficiency and productivity by using Data Envelopment Analysis technique (DEA) and Malmquist Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index for cross-section time series data involving 26 firms of Libyan construction firms over the period 1995-2005. A m...

This study also examines the impact of three moderating' variables - size, age and change of government policy (or deregulation) on the efficiency and productivity measures of the firms concerned. Change of government policy refers to Libya opening its doors to foreign companies to operate in its country beginning 2003. This study also conducts statistical test of significance for the overall results, in particular the Mann-Whitney's Test was used to test hypothesis for the moderating variables.
