to calculate partial and total productivity of production factors in broiler farms in yazd province, 72 manufacturing units were selected based on simple random sampling method and their information and statistics were collected for one production period in the second half of 2013. to measure productivity, the cobb-douglas production function was estimated using classic and fuzzy regression met...

this study aimed to measure the hospital productivity using data envelopment analysis (dea) technique and malmquist indices.this is a cross sectional study in which the panel data were used in a 4 year period from 2007 to 2010. the research was implemented in 12 teaching and non-teaching hospitals of ahvaz county. data envelopment analysis technique and the malmquist indices with an input-orien...

the aim of this paper is to analyze total factor productivity (tfp) growth and its components in asian countries applying stochastic frontier analysis (sfa) to the time series data of 44 asian countries from 2000 to 2010. using battese and coelli approach, tfp is divided into technical efficiency change and technical change. tfp decomposition using sfa method for the years 1998 to 2007 indicate...

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 ...

In this paper, we present a method to estimatethe productivity development of the Czech agricultural sector. While traditional productivity measures are based on macroeconomic data, we use individual accounting data of firms and determine the productivity development using the Fisher total factor productivity index. The results suggest that the development of agricultural sector is not highly s...
