“…This is a major drawback of this technique, especially in small noisy datasets as it does not encounter an error term and accordingly does not distinguish between inefficiency and random noise. This has been done a number of times, for instance by Deyneli (2012), Ippoliti et al (2015) or Melcarne and Ramello (2015). Furthermore, DEA does not provide any information about the relative significance (if at all) of each input used to explain differences in output.…”

“…A similar result has been achieved by Ippoliti et al . () in which the emphasis has been put on the complementarity between courts' performance and the entrepreneurs expectation on contract enforcement. The two variables are related and accordingly this shifts the prominence from the law on the books to its real effectiveness in the socio‐economic environment.…”

This paper is aimed at assessing the role of the judicial system in facilitating entrepreneurial action. More precisely it tries to show how the quality in solving dispute affects the would‐be entrepreneurs' perception on the reliability in enforcing contract and the easiness in accessing credit. The estimates confirm the aforementioned theoretical premises on an empirical ground. Judicial efficiency is a relevant factor for explaining entrepreneurship also when accounting for a set of various country‐specific characteristics regarding not only the judiciary, but also the law on the books, the political environment, and socio‐economic conditions.

“…Emphasis should be given to Gomes and Guimarães (2013), who published a bibliometric article on judiciary performance focusing on specific roles judges have, an approach that the present work seeks to overcome. In addition, international literature offers a few empirical works (Beenstock & Haitovsky, 2004;Dimitrova-Grajzl, Grajzl, Sustersic, & Zajc, 2012;Gomes et al, 2017;Ippoliti, Melcarne, & Ramello, 2015;Mitsopoulos & Pelagidis, 2007); however, they provide evidence that is still rather limited, usually circumscribed to economic variables, and sometimes with inconclusive results.…”

Public sector managers and researchers have emphasized the importance of performance measurement. Nevertheless, few theoretical and empirical studies are found in Brazilian Judiciary Courts' literature. In order to empirically identify which variables (IT investments, own or outsourced human capital) are more relevant for improving productivity, the current research proposes a model using secondary data extracted from the Justiça em Números (Justice in Numbers) report, using structural equation modeling for the analysis. The results suggest that: (a) all variables are relevant for improving productivity in Brazilian Courts, confirming our first three theoretical hypotheses; and (b) own human capital has a greater impact on productivity than outsourced, confirming the fourth. For those who are responsible for reforms, this finding indicates that IT is not the most important investment. However a question remains: Seen as a cure for almost all problems in the public sector, is it possible to improve performance without hard IT investments? For future research there are some additional questions: Why is own human capital more relevant than outsourced? Which variables should be included in the model for improving the general significance? The answers can help improve Brazilian court productivity.
