Malmquist Luenberger productivity index for microfinance productivity measurement

International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research, 2021
The objective of the study is to measure the microfinance institutions (MFIs) productivity by integrating the undesirable output, i.e., the non-performing loans (NPLs).

Cross Malmquist Productivity Index in Data Envelopment Analysis

4OR, 2021
In Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is an important instrument used to assess dynamic performance. In this paper, to deal with overestimation, to increase rationality, and to reduce dependence on self-assessment results, we equip MPI with the cross-evaluation strategy.

Malmquist Productivity Indexes and Fisher Ideal Indexes: Comment

The Economic Journal, 1993
Fare and Grosskopf (I992) (henceforth abbreviated as FG) showed that, under some conditions, the productivity index, defined as the geometric mean of two input based Malmquist productivity indexes, is equal to the quotient of the Fisher input (quantity) index and the Fisher output (quantity) index.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
