| | Efficiency in Bulgaria's schools : a non-parametric study |
 | | Efficiency in the use of classrooms (in terms of classes) varies considerably among municipalities, and efficiency is highest in the capital city of Sofia. | | | The researchers find significant relationships between the efficiency scores, on the one hand, and, on the other, the proportion of students in the population under age 20 (demand indicator), the number of teachers (variable input), the percentage of the municipal budget spent on education, and the degree of urbanization. | | | To the extent that it is possible to use such classrooms more efficiently, savings could be generated in the municipalities that need them most: in demographically sparse, poor municipalities with a weak economic base. |

| | Richard Wolff, "'Efficiency': Whose Efficiency?", Post-Autistic Economics Review, issue 16 |
| | A quantitative measure of all the positive and negative effects of an economic act, event, or institution is undertaken to determine whether, on balance, the positives (benefits added up) outweigh the negatives (costs added up). | | | Efficiency as a comprehensive, total, and absolute concept-cum- policy standard has no validity in and for analysis that presumes an overdeterminist rather than a determinist ontology. | | | Struggles emerge that usually include conflicts over which principles of selectivity will govern the analysis of problems and solutions, which principles of selectivity will be hegemonic in their society and hence in their efficiency calculi. |

| | Richard Wolff, "A Reply to Perino on the Absurdity of 'Efficiency'", Post-Autistic Economics Review, issue 18 |
| | Every efficiency concept depends, my article argued, on a very particular presumption about causes and effects (that one can reduce a list of costs and benefits to a singular causative economic act, policy, or conditions whose efficiency is to be measured). | | | Likewise, each efficiency concept can only select and measure a small subset of the infinite present and future costs and benefits ramifying from any economic act, policy, or condition. | | | The form of this debating ploy is often to denounce the opposing position and its efficiency calculus as based on “arbitrariness” while one’s own rests on the foundational certainty of rigorously measured costs and benefits. |

| | Alliance to Save Energy - Promoting Energy Efficiency World Wide: News: Economics and Financing |
| | The good news is that energy efficiency financing has some advantages over conventional financing, due mainly to the fact that energy efficiency investments produce savings. | | | These energy bill reductions are often larger than the loan payments, producing what the bankers call "positive cash flow." This means that efficiency loans help pay for themselves by freeing up other income that would have gone to pay energy bills. | | | For example, if you were going to replace 10 windows, the added cost of high-efficiency windows was $300, and the annual energy savings was $100, the efficient windows would pay for themselves in three years. |

| | ECONOMICS: 'Efficiency' blinds policy makers' judgment - 8 March 2003 |
| | In simple economic terms, taking workers out of self-sustaining employment in the name of narrowly defined efficiency, and placing them on welfare harms the overall economy. | | | To the extent the unemployed consume - which obviously will be less than the well paid and reliably employed worker, especially one supporting a family - their consumption is in part or whole supported by the taxpayer. | | | True a business can cut costs by shedding labour, but in the end is this really efficiency? |

| | Energy-Efficiency Economics: What You Need to Know |
| | Before you can quantify the value of improved energy efficiency in a leased property, you need to evaluate carefully who will pay for the improvement and who will benefit from it (see the sidebar "Calculating the Owner's Share of Savings"). | | | If you were to ask a roomful of income-property owners and managers if improved energy efficiency could make their buildings more profitable, competitive, and valuable, most, if not all, probably would say yes. | | | Any capital expenditure that is proposed to reduce operating expenses must have a cost/benefit analysis showing the owner's share of projected savings and the owner's return on investment attached to it. |
