Evaluation and Development of Environmental and Health Efficiency: Case of V4 Countries

“…There are studies, which compares V4 countries in the field of healthcare or environment, e.g. Grausová, Hužvár and Štrangfeldová, (2014) measured healthcare efficiency of V4 countries. There are also studies which compares countries on macro economical basis such as Koišová et al (2019) Comparison of V4 countries is from the point of view of the goal of this study unique, as the studies that have carried out similar analysis have focused on the European Union (EU) as the whole, rather than on its micro political groupings.…”

Financial Analysis and Survival Research of the Visegrad Countries’ Health Industries

“…As a result, in the period of 2004-2010, the Polish healthcare system was classified as one of the most efficient, while the other three countries were found to be operating inefficiently, with an unbalanced rate of development. According to this, the Czech Republic maintains a stable position, while in the cases of Slovakia and Hungary, there are fluctuations-they did not even reach the limit of efficiency [31]. Ferreira et al (2018) examined the European Union healthcare systems (based on the three health system functions proposed by the WHO: care, resource supplies, financing) using multivariate analysis methods based on data from 2012 (or the latest available year).…”

The Efficiency of Public Health and Medical Care Systems in EU Countries: Dynamic Network Data Envelopment Analysis

“…For example, Retzlaff-Roberts et al (2004), Adang and Borm (2007), Ramírez-Valdivia et al (2011), Hadad et al (2013, Medeiros and Schwierz (2015), Samut and Cafri (2016) applied the basic model to evaluate efficiency in OECD countries, and EU countries. In the condition of the Czech Republic and Slovakia we can find the application of the basic DEA models in study of Grausová et al (2014), Grausová et al (2015), Vaňková and Vrabková (2014), Sendek et al (2015), Stefko et al (2016), Staňková and Papadaki (2017). Retzlaff-Roberts et al (2004) analysed the technical efficiency in OECD countries in 1998.…”

“…They found out that improving the economic performance of health systems may not necessarily improve citizens´ satisfaction with those health systems. Grausová et al (2014) examined healthcare system efficiency in the Visegrad group during the period 2004-2010 based on non-radial Slacks-Based Measure model. They calculated super efficiency score to rank countries and to suggest improvements for the Visegrad group, and Malmquist indexes to measure efficiency changes over the specified period.…”
