In this paper, we use data envelopment analysis to evaluate the impact of regulatory reforms on the technical efficiency of 28 Italian airports between 2000 and 2006. The analysis utilizes two model specifications for airport activities: the first includes aeronautical activities, and the second both aeronautical and non-aeronautical activities. This allows evaluation of the impact of commercial activities on overall airport efficiency. The results show that different model specifications of airport activities can substantially affect policy conclusions; and that major sources of efficiency gains can be obtained from airside activities, private-capital inflows to airport management companies, types of concession agreements and the liberalization of handling services. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract

In this paper, we use data envelopment analysis to evaluate the impact of regulatory reforms on the technical efficiency of 28 Italian airports between 2000 and 2006. The analysis utilizes two model specifications for airport activities: the first includes aeronautical activities, and the second both aeronautical and non-aeronautical activities. This allows evaluation of the impact of commercial activities on overall airport efficiency. The results show that different model specifications of airport activities can substantially affect policy conclusions; and that major sources of efficiency gains can be obtained from airside activities, private-capital inflows to airport management companies, types of concession agreements and the liberalization of handling services. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
