摘要：This study aims to measure the performance and exploring the firm-specific factors which have impact on the performance of textile firms of Pakistan. The unbalanced penal data of 100 textile firms for the period of 2006 to 2011 has been used. Data envelopment analysis is employed to measure technical efficiency scores under constant as well as variable return to scale assumptions. The mean values of technical efficiency scores have been 0.82 and 0.86 under constant return and variable return to scale respectively, revealed that textile sector of Pakistan is near to efficient. Moreover, it is operated under decreasing return to scale and the existence of inefficiency is due to scale efficiency. Generalized least square estimation technique has been used to check the impact of firm specific factors on performance. Firm age, market share and sales growth have significant positive while firm size, export participation and financial leverage revealed significant negative impact on performance of textile sector of Pakistan.
