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 global Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2010
This paper introduces an alternative environmentally sensitive productivity growth index, which is circular and free from the infeasibility problem. In doing so, we integrated the concept of the global production possibility set and the directional distance function.

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 ...

Measuring seaports’ productivity: A Malmquist productivity index decomposition approach [PDF]

, 2012
This paper uses three different Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) decompositions to measure Greek seaports’ productivity for the time period 2006-2010. In addition bootstrap techniques are applied in order for confidence intervals of the MPIs and their components to be constructed and therefore to verify if the indicated changes are significant in a ...

Bootstrapping the Malmquist productivity index - a simulation study

Applied Economics Letters, 1999
This paper presents a Monte Carlo simulation study of the bootstrap algorithm proposed by Lothgren and Tambour for calculation of bootstrap confidence intervals for the firm-specific Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Malmquist productivity index. The simulation results indicate that the coverage accuracy of bootstrap confidence intervals are near the ...
