This paper describes a new simple data manipulation which minimizes data requirements to measure econometrically the impact on efficiency of each stage of multi-stages regulatory reforms. The approach can easily be implemented using standard stochastic frontier software programs. It is illustrated with data on the Spanish port system which went through a two-stage reform during the 1990s.}, }
