Circularity of the Malmquist productivity index

Economic Theory, 2006
The geometric mean version of the Malmquist productivity index does not satisfy the circular test, and its component adjacent period indexes can give different productivity change measures for the same data. A fixed-base version of the index solves both problems, but it is not independent of the base period.

Fourier analysis and the takenaka-malmquist basis

42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37475), 2004
We consider problems related to the generalization of the classical Fourier basis to a basis of rational functions with prescribed poles outside the unit disk. We give some generalizations about the convergence and estimation of the Fourier coefficients with respect to this generalized basis.

The Malmquist Productivity Index and Plant Capacity Utilization [PDF]

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 2000
A new decomposition of the Malmquist productivity index is proposed to account for changes in plant capacity utilization. Using a primal, non‐parametric specification of technology, the Malmquist index is decomposed into technical efficiency change, variations in plant capacity utilization and frontier shifts.

Malmquist Productivity Indexes and DEA

2011
In this chapter, we provide an overview of our recent work on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist productivity indexes. First, we review the construction of static and dynamic DEA technologies. Based on these technologies we show how DEA can be used to estimate the Malmquist productivity index introduced by Caves et al.

Statistical Inference for Aggregation of Malmquist Productivity Indices

Operations Research
A Comprehensive Set of Asymptotic Properties for a Meaningful Aggregation of Malmquist Indices The Malmquist productivity index (MPI) has become one of the most widely used tools for analyzing dynamic performance of decision-making units. Whereas accounting for economic weights of individual units in aggregations of indices is emphasized in the ...
