Productivity with General Indices ofManagement and Technical Change
Triebs, Thomas; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2012
We propose a model of production where technical change is both time and management induced. We define a general … management index in addition to the general time index of Baltagi and Griffin (1988) and use them as arguments in the translog … productionfunction. Time and management induced technical change are then defined interms of these general indices. For comparison, we …
