the traditional (desirable-output-oriented) technical productivity and the undesirable-output-oriented environmental, or … so-called "green", productivity. To measure the latter, we derive a Solow-type Divisia environmental productivity index … which, unlike conventional productivity indices, allows crediting the ceteris paribus reduction in undesirable outputs. Our …

This paper considers a linear panel data model with time varying heterogeneity. Bayesian inference techniques organized around Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) are applied to implement new estimators that combine smoothness priors on unobserved heterogeneity and priors on the factor structure of...

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 …

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...

This paper contributes to the productivity literature by using results from firm-level productivity studies to improve … forecasts of macro-level productivity growth. The paper employs current research methods on estimating firm-level productivity … to build times-series components that capture the joint dynamics of the firm-level productivity and size distributions …
