  • Numbers in the parentheses indicate percentage change in the scores from the previous year.

  • CRS, constant returns-to-scale; EFFCH, technical efficiency change (relative to CRS); FTEs, full-time equivalents; MPICH, multifactor productivity index change; PECH, pure technical efficiency change (relative to VRS); SECH, scale efficiency change; TECHCH, technological change; VRS, variable returns-to-scale.
