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.
Abstract: This paper analyzes productivity growth in 17 OECD countries over the period 1979-1988. A nonparametric programming method (activity analysis) is used to compute Malmquist productivity indexes. These are decomposed into two component measures, namely, technical change and efficiency change. We find that U.S. productivity growth is slightly higher than average, all of which is due to technical change. Japan's productivity growth is the highest in the sample, with almost half due to efficiency change. (JEL C43, D24) In this paper we apply recently developed

TL;DR: In this article, a non-parametric linear programming approach for the calculation of a Malmquist productivity index was developed, which is applied to the case of Swedish pharmacies, in order to calculate the productivity index.
Abstract: In this article we develop a non-parametric (linear programming) approach for calculation of a Malmquist (input based) productivity index. The method is applied to the case of Swedish pharmacies.

TL;DR: The purpose of this chapter is to study productivity change in Swedish hospitals during the time period from 1970 to 1985 to identify individual hospitals exhibiting patterns of change in productivity that differ from the rest of the industry.
Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to study productivity change in Swedish hospitals during the time period from 1970 to 1985. By comparing annual changes in the productivity of individual hospitals, it is possible both to identify general trends in the productivity of the hospital industry as a whole and to identify individual hospitals exhibiting patterns of change in productivity that differ from the rest of the industry. A careful analysis of the results of this exercise should add to our knowledge about the factors determining the pattern of hospital productivity in Sweden.
