A Slacks-based Malmquist Productivity Index
A Slacks-based Malmquist Productivity Indexhttps://www.grips.ac.jp/list/facultyinfo/tone_kaoru/ We propose a new Malmquist productivity index using non-radial slacks-based measures of efficiency. It differs from the traditional one using the radial measure in the definition of the distance function employed.
