N2 - The paper quantifies the relative efficiency of the ten privatized water and sewerage companies between 1987 and 1997. A one-component fixed-effects panel data model is used to estimate a cost function from which distribution-free firm-specific estimates of operational cost efficiency are derived. The study differs from previousstudies through the use of differing econometric techniques and by considering thewater and sewerage companies as integrated firms. Overall, a moderate level ofdispersion in operational cost efficiency is recorded.
