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 Tornqvist index into productivity and quality change provided by Fixler and … Zieschang (1992) to the Malmquist index.

A new decomposition of the Malmquist productivity index is proposed to account for changes in plant capacity … utilization. Using a primal, non-parametric specification of technology, the Malmquist index is decomposed into technical … methods of incorporating capacity utilization changes into measures of productivity change. Such measures are based on …
