Efficiency and Quality When Providing Public Child Care in Sweden.
Bjurek, Hans; And Others
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v40 n3 p217-38 Sep 1996
The efficiency of public day care centers in Sweden was studied by collecting data on inputs and services for about 200 centers and analyzing the information by data envelopment analysis. Results show large differences in efficiencies among centers, but these differences have few systematic relations to quality. (SLD)
