Measuring productivity when technologies are heterogeneous : a semi-parametric approach for electricity generation
Seifert, Stefan - 2015
While productivity growth in electricity generation is associated with multiple positive effects from an economic and … environmental perspective, measuring it is challenging. This paper proposes a framework to estimate and decompose productivity … estimation based on stochastic non-smooth envelopment of data (StoNED) allows for productivity estimation with few microeconomic …

Productivity interpretations of the Farrell efficiency measures and the Malmquist index and its decomposition
Førsund, Finn R. - 2015 - This version August 2015
The ratio definition of efficiency has the form of a productivity measure. But the weights are endogenous variables and … they do not function as weights in a productivity index proper. It is shown that extended Farrell measures of efficiency … can all be given an interpretation as productivity measures as observed productivity relative to productivity at the …

Do Technology and Efficiency Differences Determine Productivity?
Bos, Jaap W.B. - 2011
This paper investigates the forces driving output growth, namely technological, efficiency, and input changes, in 80 countries over the period 1970-2000. Relevant past studies typically assume that: (i) countries use resources efficiently, and (ii) the underlying production technology is the...

A Proportional Scale-Invariant Measurement of Heterogeneous Directional Distances to the Technological Frontier
Malikov, Emir - 2017
We consider a stochastic multiplicative-directional-distance-function-based formulation of the production technology in the presence of bad outputs. In contrast to the popular additive directional distance function, our approach preserves the highly desired scale invariance property of the...
