内容説明
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. Indeed， the 2nd Edition maintains its uniqueness: (1) It is a well-written introduction to the field. (2) It outlines， discusses and compares the four principal methods for efficiency and productivity analysis in a well-motivated presentation. (3) 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: (www.uq.edu.au/economics/cepa/crob2005).
Book Description
An Introduction to Efficiency and Productivity Analysis is designed as a primer for anyone seeking an authoritative introduction to efficiency and productivity analysis. It is a systematic treatment of four relatively new methodologies in Efficiency/Production Analysis: (a) Least-Squares Econometric Production Models， (b) Total Factor Productivity (TFP) Indices， (c) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)， and (d) Stochastic Frontiers. Each method is discussed thoroughly. First， the basic elements of each method are discussed using models to illustrate the method’s fundamentals， and， second， the discussion is expanded to treat the extensions and varieties of each method’s uses. Finally， one or more case studies are provided as a full illustration of how each methodology can be used. In addition， all four methodologies will be linked in the book’s presentation by examining the advantages and disadvantages of each method and the problems to which each method can be most suitably applied. The book offers the first unified text presentation of methods that will be of use to students， researchers and practitioners who work in the growing area of Efficiency/Productivity Analysis. The book also provides detailed advice on computer programs which can be used to calculate the various measures. This involves a number of presentations of computer instructions and output listings for the SHAZAM， TFPIP， DEAP and FRONTIER computer programs.
