The biennial Malmquist productivity change index

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 2011
Abstract 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.

The Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Index

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1996
The 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.

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: 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.

Bootstrapping the data envelopment analysis Malmquist productivity index

Applied Economics, 1999
This paper presents a bootstrap approach to calculate confidence intervals for firm-specific Malmquist productivity indices obtained from data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. The bootstrap is easily implemented and allows identification of production units that have significant productivity changes.

The Decomposition of Malmquist Productivity Indexes

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2003
Two different Malmquist productivity indexes have been proposed. One I call partially oriented because it is either output- or input-oriented, and the other is simultaneously output- and input-oriented. The partially oriented Malmquist index owes some of its popularity to the fact that it has been decomposed to isolate various sources of productivity ...

A metafrontier approach for measuring Malmquist productivity index

Empirical Economics, 2009
This paper presents an alternative framework for the decomposition of the Malmquist productivity index by using the concept of a metafrontier. The approach employed allows the calculation of technical efficiency changes, as well as technical changes, for economic agents operating under different technologies.

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.

Measuring Productivity of Pesantren Cooperative using Malmquist Index

The Economic Review of Pesantren, 2023
This research aims to measure the level of productivity of Islamic boarding schoolcooperatives in Indonesia during the period from 2013 to 2021. The methodemployed in this study is the Malmquist Index Productivity (MPI). The researchfindings reveal fluctuations in the productivity trends of Islamic boarding schoolcooperatives from year to year ...
