In this paper the Danish hospital sector is analysed with respect to technical efficiency in the non-parametric tradition, i.e. the DEA-model and the FDHmodel. The primary aim is to illustrate the mechanics of these methods. The chosen approach starts out with a standard model of hospital activity. This basic model is compared to other specifications in order to indicate the robustness of the efficiency results of the standard model. The robustness aspect is also analysed by use of regression analysis. The efficiency scores from the standard model are regressed on variables reflecting different specifications of hospital activities. This approach thus gives a link between the non-parametric efficiency measurement methods and parametric analysis.
