| Electricity industry in Iran has passed four evolutionary stages: regulation, deregulation, restructuring and privatization. Regulation increased the directorial and proprietorship role of the government. Deregulation changed the laws which had helped the continuity of the government role in electricity industry and therefore provided a legal framework for the private sector to contribute to power industry. Restructuring, disintegrated the vertical monopoly into production, transmission and distribution sectors. Privatization resulted in transferring the ownership of electricity units to non-governmental sectors. This paper tries to explain the effects of the Iranian electricity structural reform on the productivity of electricity industry by using DEA and Malmquist Index approaches. Results confirm that productivity has been improved, and show that the change in technical efficiency has contributed more than technological development to this process. |
