an acquisition. By controlling for the - typically weaker - efficiency of the target, we also estimate the overall … efficiency gain. Our results indicate that acquisitions are powerful tools to improve efficiency in the Hungarian economy. The … estimated impacts are heterogeneous. Efficiency gains are higher if the acquirer is smaller and less efficient prior to the …

bayesian inference is still capable of contemplating the temporal dynamics of efficiency. The consideration of this point is … fundamental, because the studies done to evaluate the efficiency of the electric sector have neglected the fact that part of the … increase in efficiency of a utility comes from the gain of scale due to the expansion of the market, a process that happens …
