Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the efficiency level of government expenditure per capita in health and education sectors and transfers and subsidies in 81 countries towards the human development in the respective countries by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach during 2006-2010. We found there are countries that always be positioned in the efficient frontier during the sample period, namely: Armenia, Australia, Bangladesh, Chile, Georgia, Japan, Korea Republic, Lao PDR, Madagascar, Niger, Norway, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Singapore, US, and Zambia. Nevertheless, only Singapore and Zambia succeed to maintain positive improvements among countries that are listed in the efficient frontiers.
