| Tiivistelmä: | The paper is focused on productive efficiency in Swedish retail electricity distribution during 1970-1990 using hedonic output(s) constructed from physical outputs and their qualities and network characteristics. The main focus is on efficiency of privately owned, municipal utilities municipal utilities, municipal companies, and also companies with a mixed ownership. Three different approaches are used to examine whether ownership of the distribution companies has any systematic impact on the above issues. Returns to scale and technical change are also examined. Empirical results show that privately owned companies are relatively more efficient. |
