Abstract
The directional output distance function is used to measure the efficiency of 209 electric utilities in 1993 and 1997. Exploiting duality conditions, the directional output distance function is used to estimate the shadow price of sulfur dioxide and the Morishima elasticity of output substitution.Keywords
