In this paper, we measure the technical efficiency for local electricity distribution firms in Sweden, and in particular how small and micro-scale generation affects efficiency scores. Using a two-stage data envelopment analysis to model the technical efficiency and a double bootstrap approach to estimate the determinants of inefficiencies, we show that firms are heterogeneous in terms of inefficiency, but that a large share of small and micro-scale generation is not associated with more inefficient operations.

变革之风：瑞典的小型电力生产和配电网效率

在本文中，我们评估了瑞典当地配电公司的技术效率，尤其是小型和微型发电如何影响效率得分。使用两阶段的数据包络分析对技术效率进行建模，并使用双重引导方法来估计效率低下的决定因素，我们表明，就效率低下而言，企业是异质的，但是小规模和微观规模的发电并不是很大与效率更低的操作相关联。
