摘要：
This paper employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the input-oriented technical efficiency of the railway system in a series of countries in Europe. The concept of regional efficiency is used to investigate the overall efficiency in two different areas: Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, and Western European (WE) countries. We analyzed the annually data in 1995, 1997, and 1999 for 15 CEE countries and 16 WE countries, and found out surprisingly that the overall regional efficiency decreased in both areas during the time period.
