| Abstrakt: | This rigorous thesis estimates cost eciency of 99 general hospitals in the Czech Republic during 2001{2008 using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). It tests comparability of their results nding out a certain qualitative similarity. Next, determinants were added into SFA and eciency of Czech hospitals examined. The presence of ineciency is group speci c even having accounted for various determinants. E ects of determinants were tested. Ineciency increases with teaching status, more than 20,000 treated patients a year, not-for-pro t status, larger share of the elderly in the municipality and average salary in the district. Ineciency decreases with less than 10,000 patients treated a year, larger population, higher unemployment rate and more hospitals in the region. The IES WP enclosed incorporates comments raised previously against the master thesis, i.e. excludes the e ect of unemployment as a determinant from the SFA model; it furhter uses wages direcly in the the cost function. Considerable similarity between the two SFA models has been found both in terms of coecients and signs of the remaining variables, as well as, in terms of resulting eciency scores. The e ect of the labor market is thus dual in the former case but it is accounted for when wages are included directly into the cost function. |
