Análise de eficiência gerado pela emenda constitucional n. 73: aplicação do método DEA no judiciário brasileiro

Abstract

The Constitutional Amendment n. 73 increased to 9 from 5 the number of Federal Regional Courts in order to increase the efficiency of the Federal Justice. This study seeks to determine whether there is a relationship between the size of the courts and their efficiency validating, or not, the proposed decentralization of Constitutional Amendment n. 73. Therefore, it was analyzed, analogically, the relative efficiency of 25 Courts of Justice through the DEA method, a non-parametric method used to calculate the efficiency of production units. The research was conducted with data from the National Council of Justice for the year 2013. From these data were taken five variables, four of them as inputs, expenditure on human resources, the total of processes in the ordinary rite, the total of processes in the rite of the Special Courts and number of personal computers, and as a product, the total of finalized processes. The research results showed that large courts tend to be more efficient than small and medium-sized courts, refuting the thesis that the decentralization of the Federal Justice, proposed by the Constitutional Amendment. N. 73, would generate an efficiency gain.
