Abstract

This paper analyses the technical efficiency of a sample of French generalist retailers by a two-step procedure. In the first step, four data envelopment analysis (DEA) models are used to identify the efficiency scores. This allows the ranking of the retailers to be compiled on the basis of the inputs that they use and the outputs that they produce. In the second step, a Tobit model is bootstrapped in order to identify the drivers of efficiency. Implications of the study are discussed.
