| Abstract | The objectives of this paper aim to assess the efficiency level of the member countries of ASEAN before completely integrating into the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. The researcher applied the evaluation technique called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with the presence of the undesirable output variable in computation of the efficiency score. The results showed that under the general bad output model, most countries operating on the efficiency frontier were the small countries which were the members of AEC including Lao, Singapore, and Brunei with the technical efficiency score of 1 both under the assumption of CRS and VRS. Besides, the factor that had a significant impact on the efficiency score is the problem of country's corruption. Moreover, the results of the non separable model showed that under the assumption of CRS and VRS the countries operating on the efficiency frontier were Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Vietnam Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar and Indonesia. Besides, the sources of inefficiency of the rest countries (Malaysia and Thailand) came from the output side. The main source of inefficiency came from the excess of the carbon dioxide emission from the country's consumption of energy and the inefficiency of arable land use. |
