Abstract

In this article, we have used a stochastic frontier approach (SFA) in order to analyse the efficiency and determinants of the manufacturing firms from Central and Eastern Europe. The results reveal that firms from Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary have a higher efficiency than firms from Romania and Bulgaria. The evolution in time of the efficiency show that years 2008 and 2009 have brought a decrease of the efficiency’s index. This drop-off is caused by the global economic crisis that has reduced the demand and affected the turnover.
