• Determining the contribution of technical change, efficiency change and scale change to productivity growth in the privatized English and Welsh water and sewerage industry: 1985–2000 (2007, background): “However, recent work by Garcia and Thomas (2001) and Stone and Webster (2004) has emphasized that significant modeling improvements result if both the physical volume of water and sewerage output, as well as data on the number of water and sewerage customers, are modeled as outputs.”
• A Meta-Regression Analysis of Benchmarking Studies on Water Utilities Market Structure (2012, result): “Similar results were obtained for other countries, including Italy (Fabbri and Fraquelli, 2000; Fraquelli and Giandrone, 2003; and Fraquelli and Moiso, 2005), France (Garcia and Thomas, 2001), Japan (Mizutani and Urakami, 2001), South Korea (Kim and Lee, 1998) and South Africa (Tsegai et al.”
• The Impact of Regulation on Cost Efficiency: An Empirical Analysis of Wisconsin Water Utilities (2005, background): “More recently, Garcia and Thomas (2001) incorporate the output sold to final customers and the volume lost through leaks into a multi-product cost function.”
• Cost efficiency of Slovenian water distribution utilities: an application of stochastic frontier methods (2008, background): “…transfer of water through transmission pipelines, (iii) storage of water, (iv) pressurization of water pipelines, and (v) distribution of water to final customers through distribution mains; includes also quality monitoring and metering (Fabbri and Fraquelli, 2000, and Garcia and Thomas, 2001).”
