  • Public sector performance measurement - a brief literature review and some applications to Slovenia [Elektronski vir]
    Aristovnik, Aleksander
    The main purpose of the paper is to discuss and review some previous researches on the performance and efficiency of public sector as well as different conceptual and methodological issues related to ... the performance measurement in public sector. In particular, a composition of Public Sector Performance (PSP) and Public Sector Efficiency (PSE) indicators as well as Free Disposal Hull (FDH) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) techniques are presented and then applied to Slovenia and selected EU countries. The results show, that Slovenia has relatively low efficiency in public sector, even in comparisons to some new EU member states (such as Cyprus). In addition, the paper points out some deficiencies relating to the employed techniques and definitions. Indeed, the applications of presented techniques are hampered by lack of suitable data to apply those techniques and the precise definition of inputs, outputs and outcomes which may significantly influence the empirical results.
