The second edition of An Introduction to Efficiency and
Productivity Analysis is designed to be a general introduction for
those who wish to study efficiency and productivity analysis. The
book provides an accessible, well-written introduction to the four
principal methods involved: econometric estimation of average
response models; index numbers, data envelopment analysis (DEA);
and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). For each method, a detailed
introduction to the basic concepts is presented, numerical examples
are provided, and some of the more important extensions to the
basic methods are discussed. Of special interest is the systematic
use of detailed empirical applications using real-world data
throughout the book. In recent years, there have been a number of
excellent advance-level books published on performance measurement.
This book, however, is the first systematic survey of performance
measurement with the express purpose of introducing the field to a
wide audience of students, researchers, and practitioners.
introduction to the field; it outlines, discusses and compares the
four principal methods for efficiency and productivity analysis in
a well-motivated presentation; and it provides detailed advice on
computer programs that can be used to implement these performance
measurement methods. The book contains computer instructions and
output listings for the SHAZAM, LIMDEP, TFPIP, DEAP and FRONTIER
computer programs. More extensive listings of data and computer
instruction files are available on the book's website.
