Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the technical efficiency of the productive sectors of the Spanish regions over the period 1980-91. We estimate a production function using an stochastic frontier approach for the productive sectors under three different distributional assumptions for the inefficiency term. The results obtained show the existence of important inefficiency levels in the production, being the energetic and agriculture sectors those that present the higher inefficiency leve1s.We also estimate the growth rate of the total factor productivity in every productive sector, calculated as the difference between the growth rate of technical change and the growth rate of the inefficiency.Finally, we analyse the convergence process of the inefficiency levels for every productive sectors. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la eficiencia técnica de los sectores productivos de las regiones españolas en el periodo 1980-91. Para ello, se estima una función frontera de producción estocástica para los sectores productivos de las regiones españolas bajo tres supuestos distribucionales alternativos para el término de ineficiencia. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la existencia de importantes niveles de ineficiencia en la producción, siendo el sector de la energía y el sector agrícola los que experimentan los mayores niveles de ineficiencia.Asimismo, se estiman las tasas de crecimiento de la productividad total de los factores para cada uno de los sectores productivos obtenidas como la diferencia entre la tasa de crecimiento del progreso técnico y la tasa de crecimiento de la ineficiencia.Finalmente, se analiza la convergencia de los niveles de ineficiencia entre las regiones españolas en cada uno de los sectores analizados.
