This study proposes an alternative methodology for measuring environmentally sensitive productivity growth. The … combination, the conventional Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index is modified to give the alternative sequential … environmentally sensitive productivity index. This proposed index is employed in measuring productivity growth and its decomposed …

Total factor productivity change, here defined as output quantity change divided by input quantity change, is the …. Sometimes allocative efficiency change is supposed to also play a role. Given a certain functional form for the productivity … insight offered in the present paper is that meaningful decompositions of productivity indices can only be obtained for …

In the neoclassical production functions model technical change (TC) is assumed to be exogenous and it is specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect the rate of TC. In this paper we model TC via a combination of time trend (purely...

The paper presents a new framework to assess firm level heterogeneity and to study the rate and direction of technical change. Building on the analysis of revealed short-run production functions by Hildenbrand (1981), we propose the (normalized) volume of the zonotope composed by vectors-firms...
