“There can be economy only when there is efficiency.” — by Benjamin Disraeli. With that statement, it already shows how efficiency important is. Efficiency is one of the criteria to measure the effectiveness of the economic system. Efficiency is about planning and organizing well the resources that we have to be able to provide the needs and wants of the people. It is one of the criteria because it is very important to maximize the output that we can do and get from resources that we have. According to John buck, Economic efficiency occurs when a society obtains the largest possible amount of output from its limited resources. Using the resources wisely can give us the ability to do more output and provide satisfaction to the people in the society. In addition, we can say that a country's economic system is efficient if the outputs are greater than the cost of inputs. According to Andrew Masigan, the Global Competitive Report (GCR) is just one of the numerous indices that measure an economy’s efficiency and sophistication. This is a yearly report published by the World Economic Forum to give us an idea of where a country stands. The report in 2010 showed that the Philippines is on the 85th position out of 139 countries ranked. For 2015, the Philippines rose to 47th position, but it slipped to 56th position in 2017. This report assesses how efficient an economy is in using the resources available to it, its level of productivity and its ability to sustain economic growth. In particular, it looks into the state of a country’s infrastructure, the strength of its government institutions, its macroeconomic conditions, the quality of its primary and higher education, the efficiency of its work force and the sophistication of its financial markets, among others. We have four economic systems which are traditional, command, market and mixed, hence there are also criterion to measure the effectiveness of these economic systems. One of these is having efficiency. Efficiency is not the same with effectiveness, because effectiveness is the ability to attain success in producing your desired result while efficiency is about attaining the desired or highest result with less input. Efficiency is effective in our economic system because it helps in boosting our profitability, without efficiency one cannot maximize the inputs that are given, and failing to maximize this inputs could produce less output which could lead to an increase of price. Efficiency in an economic system could greatly contribute in satisfying the human wants and need because it could be more affordable, for example rice. Rice in the Philippines has many varieties like dinorado, Jasmine, Bheng, Viva white and others. This rice has different prices, but not all could afford it. But through efficiency NFA rice was produced. Efficiency is present in this example because they produce rice with less input and more output which leads to cheaper rice compared to others.
