The Global Trends of Total Factor Productivity. Evidence from the Nonparametric Malmquist Index Approach [PDF]
In this paper the Malmquist index of total factor productivity is applied to a sample of 87 countries observed over the period 1960-90. This index and the method needed to quantify it, the data envelopment analysis, has substantial advantages as compared
