Caves, Christensen, Diewert introduced Malmquist output, input and productivity indexes into production theory in a systematic way. This paper revisits the debate on how to decompose Bjurek's concept of a Malmquist productivity index into explanatory factors, with a focus on extracting technical...

We construct a coherent theory of extreme macro instability, an important macro phenomenon most recently experienced in the United States in 2008-09. The model is then used to identify significant policymaking lessons from the Great Recession. The analysis is part of the ongoing GEM Project that...
