dc.description.abstractManagerial ability and managerial efforts play key role in the performance of business enterprises. However, this indicator is not directly observable. The current paper focuses on estimating managerial ability in the context of the Indian and Iranian general insurance sectors. The study is based on 140 firm-year observations in India and 140 firm-year observations in Iran spread over 7 years (2012-13 to 2018-19). For measuring managerial ability, we have used a three-stage procedure that involves the estimation of insurer-wise efficiency using Data Envelopment analysis (DEA) in the first stage and then regression of the logarithm of technical efficiency on a set of explanatory variables. In the final stage, we have estimated managerial ability from regression residuals (the difference between the observed and fitted values of insurer efficiency). In order to test the validity of the relationship between return on equity and managerial ability we use the general additive model (GAM). Our results confirmed that there is a positive relationship between return on equity and managerial ability. Our findings also revealed that the mean technical and output allocative efficiencies and managerial ability of Iranian markets highly fluctuated with a high variance. In contrast, these indicators did not fluctuate much in India.en_US
