Abstract: | In this study, we look for empirical support for the hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between the levels of corporate governance quality across firms and the relative efficiency levels of these
firms. This hypothesis is related to Leibenstein’s idea of X-efficiency. We use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) estimator
to obtain proxies for X-in]efficiency of firms in our sample and then analyze them with respect to different ownership structures
by comparing distributions and aggregate efficiencies across different groups. We also use truncated regression with bootstrap,
following Simar and Wilson Estimation and influence in two stage, semi-parametric models of production process, Simar and
Zelenyuk (2003) to infer on relationship of inefficiency to various indicators of quality of corporate governance, ownership
variables, as well as industry and year specific dummies. The data is coming from seven industries in Ukraine.
“The entrepreneurship structure itself may be critical, with the classic issue of the separation of ownership from control
being regarded as one of the earliest and most important sources of X-efficiency” (Button and Weyman-Jones, 1992, American Economic Review).
We would like to dedicate this paper to the memory of Christos Panzios—co-editor who handled our paper to almost the very
end, whose suggestions and encouragement have helped us substantially improve our paper. |
