1006 Benchmarking Avinor's Efficiency - a Prestudy

This report investigates ways of benchmarking Avinor's efficiency as an airport and air traffic service provider, up against an international sample of airports. The report recommends the following approach for a benchmarking study:

1. An internal benchmarking study of Avinor's airports, where one could apply a Partial Productivity Measures (PPM) study and/or a 2-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) study.
2. A PPM comparison between a selection of Avinor's airports and a number of comparable international airports.
3. A 2-stage DEA analysis on a larger set of airports. Data from around 150 airports in Northern Europe would be available.

We would like to recommend the third approach, however with the option to limit the study to the first and second approach.
