Abstract
Nowadays, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a well-established practice to apply in

network regulation. More specifically, DEA can turn out to be a proper tool to evaluate

the productivity development of an industry. From the Network Performance Assessment

Model to the Revenue Cap Model and passing through a low-powered rate-of-return regime,

Sweden experienced a broad range of regulatory scheme. This study is the opportunity to

evaluate the impact on the industry of the two mentioned regulatory schemes. Through

a Malmquist productivity index, our study encompasses a productivity analysis of the

Swedish electricity distribution sector from 2002 to 2017. Besides, a Kruskal-Wallis test

and a Tobit regression helped us evaluate if factors such as the ownership type or the

customer density could have an influence on the performances of the operators. Among

other results, we have demonstrated the low-robustness of the Network Performance

Assessment Model and the stability of the industry from the establishment of the Revenue

Cap Model onwards. Recommendations to the Swedish Energy Inspectorate are also

given such as a revision of the general efficiency requirement imposed to the operators

or the inclusion of environmental variables. Furthermore, the results have shown that it

is likely that private operators present better performances than municipally-owned and

cooperative operators.
