In this research we employ data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the Malmquist productivity of semiconductor packaging and testing firms in Taiwan from 2000 to 2003. Malmquist productivity has three components: the measurement of technical change, the measurement of the frontier forward shift, and the measurement of the frontier backward shift of a company over two consecutive periods. Thi...

The study examines the changes to total factor productivity of Jamaican banks between 1998 and 2007. Using Data Envelopment Analysis with bootstrap to construct a Malmquist index, bank productivity is measured and decomposed into technical progress and efficiency. The results suggest an inconsistent growth pattern for banks between 1998 and 2007 driven mainly by efficiency gains in the immediat...

In this paper the Malmquist index of total factor productivity is applied to a sample of 87 countries observed over the period 1960-90. This index and the method needed to quantify it, the data envelopment analysis, has substantial advantages as compared to traditional growth accounting. Two of these advantages are that it does not rely on questionable equilibrium assumptions to merge multiple ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is widely used to measure the business efficiency of many industries, among which Taiwanese machine tool industry well-known for its complete supply-chain system. Relying on DEA and Malmquist Productivity Index analyze listed manufacturers from 2018 2019, this study compared changes in their efficiencies productivities. According five change indicators Malmquist,...

One of the most popular approaches to measuring productivity changes is based on using Malmquist productivity indexes. In this paper we propose a method for obtaining interval Malmquist productivity index (IMPI). The classical DEA models have been before used for measuring the Malmquist productivity index. The current article extends DEA models for measuring the interval Malmquist productivity ...

Wheat is a major agricultural crop in the Sistan region with a key role in local economy. The present study aimed to economically explore the efficiency of wheat production over the 2014-2016 period with the window data envelopment analysis (WDEA) approach. Also, the Malmquist productivity index was employed to assess the productivity of wheat growers in the study site under variable return to ...

Efficiency is important in the assessment of a performance on an institution or organization. After efficiency continued with measurement its productivity. The purpose this paper to analyse and productivity 7 study programs at As Syafi’iyah Islamic University. results obtained for value 2017/2018-2018/2019 academic year using Data Envelopment Analysis method there are 6 as Decision Making Unit ...

(2013). " Using Data Envelopment Analysis to support the design of process improvement interventions in electricity distribution ". Abstract — A significant number of studies have documented the use of Data Envelopment Analysis for efficiency measurement in the context of electricity distribution, particularly at the level of the distribution utilities. However, their aim has been predominantly...

This paper proposes a global cost Malmquist productivity index, new cost Malmquist productivity index, that is circular and that gives a single measure of productivity change. The index is inspired by the global Malmquist productivity index as extended to productivity measurement. Decomposition of the proposed cost Malmquist productivity index is presented. Numerical results are presented for a...
