Production efficiency in the Austrian Insurance industry : a bayesian examination / Karl C. Ennsfellner, Danielle Lewis, Randy I. Anderson
This paper examines the developments in the production efficiency of the Austrian insurance market for the period 1994-1999 using firm-specific data on life-health and non life insurers obtained from the Austrian insurance regulatory authority. The article uses a Bayesian Stochastic frontier to obtain aggregate and firm-specific estimates of production efficiency across insurer types and time. The study provides strong evidence that the process of deregulation had positive effects on the production efficiency of Austrian insurers.
