Cross Malmquist Productivity Index in Data Envelopment Analysis
4OR, 2021In 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 DEA
2011In 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.

Scale and the Malmquist productivity index
Applied Economics Letters, 1999The 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.

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 ...

Malmquist Productivity Indexes and Fisher Ideal Indexes: Comment
The Economic Journal, 1993Fare 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.

The biennial Malmquist productivity change index
Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 2011In 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.

A Malmquist productivity index for network production systems in the energy sector
Annals of Operations Research, 2019In this paper, a method based on network data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proposed to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of decision making units (DMUs). In this regard, a version of the Malmquist productivity index is designed to accommodate network DEA structures.

Malmquist productivity index estimates for European agriculture in the 1990s
Operational Research, 2004In 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 ...

Malmquist Productivity Indexes: An Empirical Comparison
1998The 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.

The Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Index
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1996The 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.
