Abstract

This paper investigates Public Sector Performance (PSP), Public Sector Efficiency (PSE), and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) scores for 11 CEE countries, using the methodology proposed by Afonso et al. (various years). Our calculations are based on seven components of the public sector, described by 12 opportunity indicators and six Musgravian indicators. Moreover, we adapt and extend the Afonso, Schuknecht, and Tanzi methodology in order to be able to compute annual scores for PSP and PSE. The results show that expenditure performance is higher in the group of medium-sized governments. Additionally, medium-sized government groups obtained the highest efficiency scores.
