A note on the choice of Malmquist productivity index and Malmquist total factor productivity index [PDF]

, 2006
This paper by analyzing the two popular methodologies of productivity measurement provides an example that illustrates the differences when adopting the two methodologies. Furthermore, under the restriction of constant returns to scale raises some methodological issues regarding the theory of productivity measurement using the Malmquist Productivity ...

Scale and the Malmquist productivity index

Applied Economics Letters, 1999
The Malmquist index has gained acceptability in empirical analyses of productivity in recent years. Some question has been raised concerning the index's ability to accurately portray productivity change in the presence of nonconstant returns to scale.

Bootstrapping the Malmquist indexes for Italian airports

International Journal of Production Economics, 2012
Abstract This paper uses data envelopment analysis to assess the operational performance of 28 Italian airports during the period of 2000 through 2006. Recent developments in bootstrapping techniques are used to correct total factor productivity estimates for bias and to assess the uncertainty surrounding such estimates.

The biennial Malmquist productivity change index

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 2011
In this paper we introduce a new Malmquist productivity index that has three attractive features: it avoids linear programming infeasibilities under variable returns to scale, it allows for technical regress, and it does not need to be recomputed when a new time period is added to the data set.

Malmquist Productivity Indexes: An Empirical Comparison

1998
The interest in empirical applications of the Malmquist productivity index, proposed by Caves et al. (1982) (CCD), took off after Fare et al. (1994a) (originally circulated as a working paper in 1989) showed the relative ease with which the index could be calculated in the case of piecewise linear frontiers.

Measuring the Effect of the Rules and Regulations on Global Malmquist Index

International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems, 2011
The circle-type or global Malmquist index, which is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, is an important index that is widely used for measuring the relative productivity change of decision-making units (DMUs) in multiple time periods. This index, similar to the standard approach of measuring the productivity change using the standard ...

The Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Index

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1996
The definitions of the Malmquist output and input quantity indexes specified by D. W. Caves, L. R. Christensen, and W. E. Diewert (1982) are applied in this study. Based on these indexes, a 'Malmquist total factor productivity index' is derived for general production structures.

Malmquist productivity index estimates for European agriculture in the 1990s

Operational Research, 2004
In this paper the efficiency and productivity of the agricultural sectors in the EU countries and the thirteen candidate countries is investigated. For this purpose the DEA-based Malmquist productivity index is applied, a non-parametric approach that decomposes productivity changes into a technical efficiency change component and a technical change ...

Measures in DEA with an Application to the Malmquist Index

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2000
This paper shows the importance of goal vectors G in measuring and dealing with DEA inefficiencies. It emphasizes the advantages of the family of additive relative to the traditional oriented DEA models and shifts the primary emphasis to measuring inefficiency rather than efficiency.

On the circularity of the Malmquist productivity index. [PDF]

, 2002
Circularity is a desirable property of a productivity index seldom satisfied in available bilateral indices, such as the Malmquist index. Within a setting of micro units belonging to groups with group-specific frontier technology, the bilateral Malmquist productivity index is investigated.
