abstract = {The paper performs an efficiency analysis of the lower secondary school sector in Norway.
The efficiency potential is calculated to 14 percent based on a DEA analysis with grades in
core subjects (adjusted for student characteristics and family background) as outputs. The
analysis of the determinants of efficiency indicates that a high level of municipal revenue, a
high degree of party fragmentation, and a high share of socialists in the local council are
associated with low educational efficiency. The negative effects of the share of socialists and
party fragmentation seem to reflect both higher resource use and lower student performance.},
