Authors : Sahraoui Fatma Zahra . Merhoun Malek .

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide facts on performance measurement in the Algerian insurance sector, through a DEA model to assess the efficiency in the CAAR and CAAT companies separately. To promote the ground for the empirical part of the analysis, which relates to a comparative case study, a BCC model was used to test CAAT and CAAR efficiency using a sample of 94 CAAT agencies and 90 CAAR agencies, while the agencies were used as DMUs in the VRS process, with an output-oriented DEA process. The key conclusions of this article are the dissimilarity between the two companies: volatility of revenue (premiums) over 2014, 2015, 2016, and productive agency rate, 65.5 percent for CAAT, 61.5 percent for CAAR.
