“…The work offers an alternative approach to handle heterogeneity and allow for benchmarking in the case of multiple outputs, ensuring that regulators decisions are also informed by incentive compatible benchmarking tools. • Heim et al (2020) review aspects of the industrial organization of electricity distribution, and the unbundling of vertically integrated utilities. The empirical work in this study focuses on a panel of data of German distribution system operators (DSOs).…”
