An Economic Approach to the Measurement of Productivity Growth Using Differences Instead of Ratios

Diewert, Erwin; Mizobuchi, Hideyuki - Vancouver School of Economics - 2009

Traditional index number theory decomposes a value ratio into the product of a price index times a quantity index. Growth accounting is based on this traditional approach to index number theory. This paper takes an alternative approach which decomposes a value difference into the sum of a price...

Operational identification of the complete class of superlative index numbers: an application of Galois theory

Barnett, William; Choi, Ki-Hong - Department of Economics, University of Kansas - 2006

We provide an operational identification of the complete class of superlative index numbers to track the exact aggregator functions of economic aggregation theory. If an index number is linearly homogeneous and a second order approximation in a formal manner that we define, we prove the index to...
