  • Measuring the Efficiency Levels of Companies Operating in the European Postal Sector: a Nonparametric Approach
    Measuring the efficiency levels of companies operating in the European postal sector: a nonparametric approach 4 February 2020 Name: Robin Kamphorst Registration number: 960903419060 Supervisor: dr. ir. Frederic Ang Chair group: Business Economics (BEC) Study program: Master Management, Economics and Consumer Studies (MME) Course code: BEC-80436 Preface This thesis was written in the second year of the Master Management, Economics and Consumer Studies at Wageningen University, The Netherlands. The research was done under supervision of dr. ir. Frederic Ang, who is part of the Business Economics Group (BEC). This process started in September 2019 and finished in February 2020. The aim of this thesis was to analyze the efficiency levels of companies operating in the European postal sector, to indicate where improvements could be made. A comparison between the efficiency levels of private- and state-owned companies was of particular interest. The data was also plotted against time to investigate trends in the development of the efficiency levels. I would like to thank Frederic Ang for his supervision, as I appreciate the valuable input I got from our meetings. I would also like to thank my peers for their support during this process.

  • Position Paper
    Page 1/5 POSITION PAPER The ECORYS Study on “Development of competition in the European postal sector” 22 March 2006 PostEurop, the Association of 43 Postal Operators, holders of the Universal Service Obligation at national as well as at international level, through its Postal Directive Working Group, has followed with attention the progress and the outcome of the Study performed by ECORYS for the European Commission (DG Markt) titled : “The development of competition in the European postal sector”1. The Study has been made public in mid-August 2005. The European Commission hosted a workshop on 10 October 2005 during which ECORYS described the main results of its study. PostEurop has already taken the opportunity to issue its opinions on the progress of the ECORYS study and refers therefore to its existing Opinion Paper of 15 June 20052. Following the invitation of the European Commission, PostEurop is pleased to have the opportunity to convey the following position observations in order to positively contribute to the further definition of Community postal policy. 1. GENERAL REMARKS At first sight the study provides a fresh view on current developments within the European postal sector as well as its (possible) future. The report’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it combines up-to- date knowledge of postal companies, their processes, the markets they serve, current and potential competitive forces, strategic options and the impact of liberalisation to draw a picture of the possible future of the European postal sector. ECORYS is considering the development of competition on the upstream markets as an indicator of the overall process of liberalisation.
