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 …

These reallocations cause overall productivity to … rise during recessions, and do not reflect the actual path of productivity of a representative firm over the course of the …

Economists typically model a plant's productivity as an exogenous characteristic, but the people who run and work at … manufacturing plants make choices, at a cost, that affect plant productivity.
