Pollution Generating Technologies and Environmental Efficiency
Färe, Rolf; Grosskopf, Shawna; Lundgren, Tommy; … - 2012
In this paper we study environmental efficiency within a pollution generating technology. Pollutants, or bads, are … environmental efficiency, and hence lower emissions, of three air pollutants. Furthermore, we suggest that treating biofuels as … entirely carbon neutral (as is common practice) may underestimate environmental efficiency scores and generate misleading …

Generalized quadratic revenue functions
Chambers, Robert G.; Färe, Rolf; Grosskopf, Shawna - 2008
In this paper we focus on specification of revenue functions in their dual price space. We consider two distance functions, both dual to the revenue function: Shephard output distance function and the directional output distance function, both in price space. The former is multiplicative,...

A Note on Parameterizing Input Distance Functions: Does the Choice of a Functional Form Matter?
Färe, Rolf; Vardanyan, Michael - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2014
We use a Monte Carlo experiment to compare the quadratic and translog functional forms in terms of their ability to approximate known frontiers that possess convex curvature. Unlike some of the existing simulation studies that have studied this topic, we find that both functional forms provide a...

A note on decomposing the Malmquist productivity index by means of subvector homotheticity
Hayes, Kathy; Färe, Rolf; Grosskopf, Shawna; Førsund, … - In: Economic Theory 17 (2001) 1, pp. 239-245
This paper introduces a decomposition of the Malmquist productivity index into component indexes. The motivation is to derive an analogue of the decomposition of the Törnqvist index into productivity and quality change provided by Fixler and Zieschang (1992) to the Malmquist index. Since we...

Productivity: Should We Include Bads?
Färe, Rolf; Grosskopf, Shawna; Lundgren, Tommy; … - CERE - the Center for Environmental and Resource Economics - 2012
This paper studies the interaction between economic and environmental performance. Applying the directional output distance function approach, the purpose is to compare estimates of Luenberger total factor productivity indicators, including and excluding bad outputs. Specifically, based on...
