The main goal of this paper is to measure the cost inefficiency of Portuguese water delivery public service incorporating on the stochastic frontier some exogenous influences on efficiency. For this purpose, we employ a Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier cost function to represent the technology of water distribution service. Empirical results show that firm-specific factors explain differences on mean efficiency between regions.
