ABSTRACT

The aim of the study was to measure the efficiency of non life insurance companies operating in India. For this purpose 20 non life insurance companies were selected for the financial year period 2012-13. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique was applied to assess the efficiency scores of the insurers. OLS regression method was used in conjunction with financial ratios to ascertain the exposure they have on the overall technical efficiency (OTE) of the insurers. Thus, the results showed directional impact the ratios have on the technical efficiency of the insurers.
