摘要：

Production efficiency in the Norwegian sawmilling sector was investigated by means of data envelopment analysis, using individual mill observations from the period 1974-91. The resulting efficiency scores were evaluated with respect to size using censored regression analysis and non-parametric comparison tests. Average efficiency estimates indicated that the smallest mills (less than or equal to5000 m(3) yr(-1)) were less efficient than large mills (lumber output > 25000 m(3) yr(-1)). During most of the period studied, average efficiency estimates for the smallest mills were significantly lower than for larger mills.
