Linear programming models for firm and industry performance

Article Abstract:

Linear programming models of industrial productivity are examined prior to the development of a hybrid industry model. The models, which are a modification of those in the literature, are linked to the Farell model where the best practice technology is developed through the cooperation of several firms in a particular industry.They quantify a manufacturing sector's and individual company's production efficiency with respect to input reallocation within an industry.

Biased technical change and the Malmquist productivity index

Article Abstract:

Changes in the Malmquist productivity index enable the model to express a technical change index and a technical efficiency change index. The technical change index is affected by expressing it as a product of a magnitude index, an input bias index and an output bias index. Conditions can be created in which the bias index does not contribute to productivity change.
