Abstract

JEL: C01, L25 Abstract: This study estimated TE of manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises in Tanzania at 38.50% assuming a variable return to scale using two-stage DEA. Which means that these enterprises can increase their production by 61.50% using the same amounts of inputs. Construction SMEs were the most technically efficient, followed by food industries, hotels and restaurants, textiles and clothing, transport and manufactured metals. The enterprise' size, the start-up in the formal sector, and foreign investment were the main determinants of TE at the aggregate SMEs level. JEL classification codes: C01, L25
