Biased Technical Change and the Malmquist Productivity Index
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1997 The Malmquist productivity index has many attractive features. One is that it can be epxressed as the product of a technical efficiency change index and a technical change index. In this paper we express the technical change index as the product of a magnitude index and a bias index. We then express the bias index as the product of an output bias index

Malmquist Productivity Index with Grey Data
International Journal of Business and Management, 2015 Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is widely used method to measure the productivity changes of Decision Making Units (DMUs) between two time periods. Although the conventional MPI requires accurate data, in many real life conditions the input and output data of DMUs usually involve uncertainty and only lower and upper bounds of data could be obtained.

Forecasting the Malmquist Productivity Index
, 2009 The Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) suggests a convenient way of measuring the productivity change of a given unit between two consequent time periods. Until now, only a static approach for analyzing the MPI was available in the literature. However, this hides a potentially valuable information given by the evolution of productivity over time.
