A global Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index
Dong-hyun Oh,Dong-hyun Oh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative environmentally sensitive productivity growth index, which is circular and free from the infeasibility problem, is proposed. But it can also be decomposed into sources of productivity growth, and the suggested index is employed in analyzing 26 OECD countries for the period 1990-2003.

Abstract: This paper introduces an alternative environmentally sensitive productivity growth index, which is circular and free from the infeasibility problem. In doing so, we integrated the concept of the global production possibility set and the directional distance function. Like the conventional Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index, it can also be decomposed into sources of productivity growth. The suggested index is employed in analyzing 26 OECD countries for the period 1990–2003. We also employed the conventional Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index, the global Malmquist productivity index and the conventional Malmquist productivity index for comparative purposes in this empirical investigation.

Assessing environmental performance in the European Union: Eco-innovation versus catching-up
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess environmental performance in the European Union (EU) using Luenberger productivity indicators, directional distance functions and Data Envelopment Analysis techniques, and distinguish between the periods of economic growth and severe crisis (2007-13).

The overall Malmquist index: a new approach for measuring productivity changes over time
Mohsen Afsharian,Heinz Ahn +1 more
TL;DR: A new way of constructing the global framework of the Malmquist index which applies the minimum extrapolation principle on the aggregation of the experienced contemporaneous technologies is proposed, which preserves the role of each contemporaneous technology in the determination of the newly-proposed best practice technology.

Productivity growth, technical progress and efficiency change in industrial countries
R Far,S Grosskof,M Norris,Z Zhang +3 more
- 01 Jan 1994
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed productivity growth in seventeen OECD countries over the period 1979-88 and found that U.S. productivity growth is slightly higher than average, all of which is due to technical change.

Productivity Growth, Technical Progress, and Efficiency Change in Industrialized Countries
TL;DR: In this article, a nonparametric programming method (activity analysis) is used to compute the Malmquist productivity indexes, which are decomposed into two component measures, namely, technical change and efficiency change.

Productivity and Undesirable Outputs: A Directional Distance Function Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a directional distance function is used as a component in a new productivity index that readily models joint production of goods and bads, credits firms for reductions in bads and increases in goods, and does not require shadow prices of bad outputs.
