The paper undertakes a benchmarking study of the water service management sector in Italy using Data Envelopment Analysis. The optimal territorial area (ATO) is chosen as unit of analysis, while sample investigated includes 38 ATOs. Both technical and scale efficiency are evaluated. Results of DEA implementation show that the average pure technical and scales efficiency are situated at 92.62% and 93.91%, respectively. Findings also show that efficiency is neither related to service average tariff nor to investment planning effectiveness. Returns to scale are investigated too.

Abstract
The paper undertakes a benchmarking study of the water service management sector in Italy using Data Envelopment Analysis. The optimal territorial area (ATO) is chosen as unit of analysis, while sample investigated includes 38 ATOs. Both technical and scale efficiency are evaluated. Results of DEA implementation show that the average pure technical and scales efficiency are situated at 92.62% and 93.91%, respectively. Findings also show that efficiency is neither related to service average tariff nor to investment planning effectiveness. Returns to scale are investigated too.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
