Abstract
In this paper, we evaluate the technical efficiency of both freight and passenger transportation railway services in selected developing countries over the time period from 2013 to 2018. We apply the Data envelopment Analysis DEA based on different input-output model configurations under Variable and Constant Return on Scale. The findings suggest the existence of efficiency gaps amongst the investigated railways and most of them are oriented to passenger transportation services rather than freight services. The results also show a moderate dynamic change of technical efficiency during the period of analysis with shifts representing occasional back and forth development for most of the observed railways. Finally, our findings suggest that Algerian Railways Company SNTF should implement substantial inputs restructuring or outputs increase to improve the overall performance of the delivered railways transportation services.
