The paper deals with production performance evaluation of the EU selected regions in the period 2000 – 2011. We estimate a translog stochastic production frontier using the true fixed-effects methods. We detect statistically significant savings with respect to the technical progress in capital input and consumption with respect to the technical progress in labor input. We evaluate the performance...
Using Malmquist index, this paper measures total factor productivity (TFP) of modern service industry in Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta during 2000-2008, analyzes the sources and trends of TFP growth. Conclusions are made as follows: TFP of modern service industry grew rapidly and had a downward trend in the two zones, and the source of economic growth has shifted from technical efficiency...
The total factor productivity is one of the important indexes to measure sustainable economic growth. According to the 1990–2008 Gansu services data, this paper empirically analyses the service industry total factor productivity growth in Gansu province by nonparametric Malmquist index method. It is concluded that there exist certain differences between technical efficiency and technical progress...
This paper presents a timely assessment of Chinese high-tech industrial productivity performances over the period 2001 to 2007. A methodology developed by FARE et al. (1994), and derived from the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach, allows for the estimation of TFP growth rates and its components, technical efficiency, technical change, and scale changes. In this study, we use an industry-level...
Paper develops an endogenous model to analyze the impact of education on total factor productivity. The econometric model including education expenditure, education spillovers and productivity is established. Using Malmquist productivity index method, the total factor productivity can be decomposed into technological efficiency and technological progress. Paper employs the panel data set in China...
