SUIN-GUARACA, Luis. Technical Efficiency of healthcare systems: a response to pandemic mortality. Prob. Des [online]. 2023, vol.54, n.215, pp.89-120.  Epub 18-Mar-2024. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2023.215.69977.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused an unusual population mortality rate. This paper aims to determine a causal relationship and its incidence between the Technical Efficiency (TE) of health systems and the Covid -19 mortality rate. Using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology and the OLS, GLS and 2SLS adjustment methods, in 108 countries grouped according to per capita health expenditure, it was found that a 1% increase in the TE of the health systems of the analyzed countries reduces the number of deaths from Covid-19 by between 61 and 127 per hundred thousand inhabitants, concluding that the efficiency of expenditure was transcendental in the prevention of mortality caused by the pandemic.
