Abstract
Recent studies have highlighted power-distribution inefficiencies in Ethiopian textile panels, suggesting potential for improvement. The analysis employs panel-data estimation techniques to measure efficiency gains across different time periods. Robust standard errors are used for inference. Panel data analysis revealed a significant improvement in power-distribution efficiency, with an estimated increase of 15% compared to previous estimates. Our replication study confirms and extends the findings from earlier studies on Ethiopian textile panel efficiency. Further research should explore potential cost-saving measures by implementing the confirmed improvements in power distribution systems. power-distribution, efficiency gains, Ethiopian textile panels, panel-data analysis The maintenance outcome was modelled as $Y<em>{it}=\beta</em>0+\beta<em>1X</em>{it}+u<em>i+\varepsilon</em>{it}$, with robustness checked using heteroskedasticity-consistent errors.
