EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF AGRICULTURAL BANK MANAGEMENT: THE IMPACT OF STATE REGULATORY POLICIES [PDF]

We evaluate agricultural bank management performance, focusing on the impacts of interstate banking laws on productivity change. The generalized Malmquist productivity index decomposes productivity change into technological change, technical efficiency ...

Malmquist Productivity Index with Grey Data

International Journal of Business and Management, 2015
Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is widely used method to measure the productivity changes of Decision Making Units (DMUs) between two time periods. Although the conventional MPI requires accurate data, in many real life conditions the input and output data of DMUs usually involve uncertainty and only lower and upper bounds of data could be obtained.

Planning in management: identifying alternative ways of improving performance toward best practices

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 1362-1384, March 2026.
Abstract Planning is an important part of the management of organizations, which deals with the setting of targets that guide the actions needed to improve performance. Decision making is at the essence of planning, as it involves the identification of alternative directions for improvement and the selection of a future course of action.

The Robust Malmquist Productivity Index: A Framework for Measuring Productivity Changes over Time Under Uncertainty

Mathematics
The purpose of this study is to propose a novel approach for measuring productivity changes in decision-making units (DMUs) over time and evaluating the performance of each DMU under uncertainty in terms of progress, regression, and stagnation.

Aggregation of Malmquist Productivity Indexes [PDF]

In this paper we extend the work of Färe and Zelenyuk (2003) to find a theoretically justified method of aggregating Malmquist Productivity Indexes over individual decision making units (firms, countries, etc.) into a group Malmquist Productivity Index ...

Behavioural tactics across thermal gradients align with partial morphological divergence in brook charr

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 359-376, February 2026.
Our study reveals that brook charr adopt distinct ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ behavioural tactics to balance foraging and thermal stress in stratified lakes. By linking fine‐scale thermal movements to morphology, we show how temperature‐driven habitat use promotes individual specialization and potential ecotypic divergence under climate change.

Return to Dollar, Generalized Distance Function and the Fisher Productivity Index [PDF]

Exploring the duality between a return to dollar definition of profit and the generalized distance function we establish the relationship between the Laspeyres, Paasche and Fisher productivity indexes and their alternative Malmquist indexes counterparts.

Fintech, Technology Spillover and TFP of Commercial Banks: Evidence From China

Bulletin of Economic Research, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 40-53, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This article derives the theoretical relationship between Fintech and total factor productivity (TFP). In the empirical test, it calculates the TFP of 110 commercial banks in China from 2013 to 2020 using the non‐oriented DEA‐Malmquist index model. It then estimates the effects of Fintech on TFP using a dynamic panel SYSGMM model.

AGGREGATION ISSUES IN THE ESTIMATION OF MALMQUIST PRODUCTIVITY MEASURES [PDF]

The paper contributes by demonstrating the sensitivity of nonparametric programming productivity measures to the choice of model –time series versus panel models of Malmquist productivity, and to various levels of commodity aggregation compared to the ...
