Malmquist Productivity Index

The Malmquist index (MI) evaluates the efficiency change over time. In the non-parametric framework, it is measured as the product of catch-up (or recovery) and frontier-shift (or innovation) terms, both coming from the DEA technologies. We introduce three different approaches for measuring the Malmquist index along with scale efficiency related subjects.
