Abstract
Regression analysis (RA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) are two techniques widely used in comparative efficiency exercises of regulated utilities. The prevailing impression is that these techniques are to a significant extent substitutes. This paper identifies and discusses important differences between these two techniques. The theoretical issues are illustrated with the help of an application of RA and DEA on recent data from the regulated water industry in England and Wales.
