Math. Model. Abstract: Incentive regulation has become an important regulatory tool in the telecommunications industry in the United States. (...) a methodology for measuring technical efficiency and its change is introduced. This is a multiple-output/multiple-input distance function approach to measuring technical efficiency. The results of implementing this approach for 19 local exchange carriers for the 1988-1999 period indicate that in the production of local service, intrastate toll/access service, and interstate access to local loops, there was no change in technical efficiency between the 1988-1990 period and the 1991-1999 period, something that incentive regulation was specifically designed to promote.
