Resumo(s)

For some time now, the judicial systems of countries have been intrinsically connected to their development. This analysis uses data from 2015 to 2021 on every bench in the Portuguese first instance courts, consisting of 3,249 observations and 12 different variables. To analyze the efficiency of benches, their economies of scale and their economies of scope Data Envelopment Analysis was used. The results uncovered is economies of scope (specialised benches are more efficient than generic benches), and diseconomies of scale with some specialised benches experiencing decreasing returns to scale (criminal, enforcement and commerce benches) while others experienced increasing returns (Civil and generic benches).
