Abstract:

This paper focuses on the performance of trucks involved in road construction and maintenance, and operated by the regional agencies of a nationa public roads administration. The performance is evaluated from the productive efficiency point of view. The framework is that of a deterministic non-parametric (DEA) approach to efficiency measurement. In this context several important issues are addressed: efficiency ranking and distribution among trucks, the importance of an appropriate output measure, impact of regional characteristics and the significance of the make and model of the trucks.
