Professor Coelli specialises in theoretical and applied econometrics, production economics and performance measurement. Research interests include: efficiency and productivity measurement, involving the use of econometric methods in production economics, such as stochastic frontier production and cost functions, dual systems, index numbers and data envelopment analysis (DEA). He has written computer software (in Fortran) which can estimate some of these models. The majority of applied research has involved either developing country agriculture or public sector organisations, with a recent focus on performance measurement for use in the regulation of infrastructure industries. This has involved consultancy work for the World Bank, the Independent Pricing Regulatory Tribunal of NSW, the Water Services Association of Australia and the Queensland Water Reform Unit. Currently holds editorial appointments with the Journal of Productivity Analysis and Agricultural Economics.
