Abstract

This paper applies the technique of data envelopment analysis to measure the eight efficiency concepts and, scale economies (SE) and returns to scale (RTS) of Indian Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India before and after liberalization. This study finds that LIC has maintained high SE and increasing RTS in the operation of periods (1983-1995) and decreasing returns to scale in the operations of last four years (1996-1999). This study finally concludes that Indian LIC lost its monopoly status in exploiting scale economies as a result of liberalization.
