 Full text | Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to compare the levels of efficiency of Polish and Spanish textile and clothing firms. The analyses were based on firm-level accounting data for the time period 1998-2001. Interestingly, for the period analysed we did not find any statistically significant differences between the efficiency of Polish and Spanish textile/clothing firms. The general result of this study shows that firms in both countries are, on average, relatively highly efficient in their production processes. The efficiency score reaches a level of 86%. |
