Abstract

Panel data collected recently in Irkutsk Province show that significant technical inefficiency existed across industrial branches between 1970-1991. Technical inefficiency is much more widely dispersed across branches than has been previously reported in other studies suggesting the need for more microeconomic research.

Keywords: Siberia, technial efficiency, soviet union
