AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the level of technical efficiency as well as allocative efficiency of Thai textile industry. This study also tries to focus on the economies of scale of the same industry.The study estimates four factors Cobb-Douglas production for weaving sector and two factors production function for other sectors. As an analytical tool, the study applies ordinary least square and ridge regression method to estimate the average production function and linear programming method to estimate the frontier production function. A high level of technical efficiency, a poor allocative efficiency is found in this study. Lastly, the study presents some economic interpretations of the findings and the future direction of further research.
