Efficiency of Croatian nursing homes - DEA analysis

This paper uses the input-oriented DEA models to estimate overall technical efficiency (OTE), pure technical efficiency (PTE) and scale efficiency (SE) of Croatian for-profit nursing homes in 2019. Thus, data set consists of three inputs (tangible assets, staff costs and material costs) and one output (total revenues). The results reveal that average OTE and PTE are between 0.815 and 0.858, due to different SE. By identifying top performance on the market (NH24 and NH14), paper provides valuable information on different ways to raise efficiency for relatively inefficient nursing homes since demand for this service will inevitably raise due to aging of population.
