A sample of all insurance sectors in Labuan insurance industry is selected over the period 2000-2011. The findings suggested that Labuan Captive is relatively efficient in comparison to other insurance sectors in Labuan insurance industry. DEA has been considered as an effective management tools to quantify Captive Labuan performance, in that DEA has fewer limitations than other econometric approaches in term of the choice of input and output variables whereby, the performance measure obtained by DEA is sensitive to the combination of input and output.
