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 DEA

2011
In 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.

The biennial Malmquist productivity change index

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 2011
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.

Malmquist Productivity Indexes and Fisher Ideal Indexes: Comment

The Economic Journal, 1993
Fare 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.

A Malmquist productivity index for network production systems in the energy sector

Annals of Operations Research, 2019
In 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 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.

Malmquist productivity index estimates for European agriculture in the 1990s

Operational Research, 2004
In 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 ...

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 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.

On multi-decomposition of the aggregate Malmquist productivity index

Economics Letters, 2006
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the multi-decomposition of the aggregate Malmquist productivity index, that is, a combined decomposition both by attribute, which is characterized by technical change or efficiency change, and by firm.
