Description |
The objectives of this paper aim to assess the efficiency level of the member countries of ASEAN beforecompletely integrating into the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. The researcher applied the evaluationtechnique called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with the presence of the undesirable output variable incomputation of the efficiency score. The results showed that under the general bad output model, mostcountries operating on the efficiency frontier were the small countries which were the members of AECincluding Lao, Singapore, and Brunei with the technical efficiency score of 1 both under the assumption ofCRS and VRS. Besides, the factor that had a significant impact on the efficiency score is the problem ofcountry’s corruption. Moreover, the results of the non separable model showed that under the assumption ofCRS and VRS the countries operating on the efficiency frontier were Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, VietnamCambodia, Lao, Myanmar and Indonesia. Besides, the sources of inefficiency of the rest countries (Malaysiaand Thailand) came from the output side. The main source of inefficiency came from the excess of thecarbon dioxide emission from the country’s consumption of energy and the inefficiency of arable land use.
