“…Tone and Tsutsui (2009) adapted the framework to construct a network of divisions that are considered together in the operational process of a decision-making unit. NDEA models have been applied in different sectors to investigate the (in)efficiency of intermediate steps that seek more specific and better solutions for improving the efficiency of organisations (Villano et al, 2020). In higher education, some studies, such as Tran andVillano (2018, 2021), Lee and Worthington (2016), Ding et al (2020), Rayeni and Saljooghi (2010) and Monfared and Safi (2013), have employed NDEA in temporal periods with different division/nodes fitted into their research contexts.…”

Whereas the bulk of empirical research has employed nonparametric approaches to estimate efficiency in local government, especially Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), in this paper we employ a Network DEA (NDEA) model to investigate the impact of the separate divisions of financial management and service provision on overall municipal efficiency. We apply this approach to the New South Wales (NSW) state local government system in Australia using a NDEA model for the four-year period of 2014/15 to 2017/18. We find that the overall efficiency of NSW local councils is statistically significantly associated with financial efficiency more strongly than with service efficiency, indicating that financial activities are relatively more important in terms of municipal performance. Using a fractional regression model in a second-stage NDEA model, we also establish that urban local councils are more efficient than their rural counterparts in terms of both financial efficiency and overall network efficiency.
