Abstract

The petrochemical industry as a principal component of the oil sector is an important, basic industry in Iran. This industry has a critical role in Iran's economic development and diversification away from oil, given the opportunities it offers for internalizing technology and expansion of associated industries, both as suppliers and as users of its products. This is why the current study assesses TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY and PRODUCTIVITY in PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS in Iran utilizing the DEA method and Malmquist Index. The results indicate that under assumption of constant returns and variable during years 2002-2008, the average value of TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY of PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS were 55.7 and 64.4 percent respectively.The Borzouye and Khouzestan plants, respectively with 100 and 4.4 percent, have the highest and lowest TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY amongst PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS. The average PRODUCTIVITY growth in the selected PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS was equal to 34.7 percent during years 2002-2008, with 18.3 percent of the growth due to improvements in technology and 13.9 percent due to improvements in TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY. It is thus clear that the most important factor making for increasing PRODUCTIVITY is technological change.
