Abstract

Der Beitrag arbeitet die Heterogenität von Unternehmen innerhalb von Branchen hinsichtlich ihrer technischen Effizienz heraus. Datengrundlage sind die Mikrodaten der Kostentrukturerhebung im Verarbeitenden Gewerbe in Deutschland. Die technische Effizienz wird im Rahmen der Schätzung einer Translog-Produktionsfunktion als unternehmensspezifischer fixer Effekt ermittelt. Innerhalb von Branchen bestehen in der Regel große Unterschiede hinsichtlich der technischen Effizienz. Diese Unterschiede werden beispielhaft für einige Branchen grafisch veranschaulicht. Die durchschnittliche Effizienz der Kleinunternehmen liegt etwas höher als in der Gruppe der Großunternehmen, was auf verschiedene Ursachen zurückgeführt werden kann. Abschließend werden weitere Analysepotenziale der Kostenstrukturerhebung für Forschung und Politikberatung skizziert.
