| Tiivistelmä: | It is necessary to distinguish technical inefficiency from service ineffectiveness to scrutinise the plausible sources of poor performance for non-storable transport services. The study attempts to measure the performance of railways that produce passenger and freight services by two stochastic distance function approaches. The findings show that railways' technical inefficiency and service ineffectiveness are negatively influenced by gross national income per capita, percentage of electrified lines and line density. |
