Abstract

Data on some 600 general practitioners located in the same region of Austria for the years 2001–2003 are analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis The available information comprises patient numbers by age category case mix and resource use outliers are removed with a procedure based on the orderm estimator The results do not vary much over different samples and specifications and imply an average inefficiency of around 15 Throughout the observation period only slight changes in total factor productivity are observed
