Product Description

Review

From the reviews of the second edition: "The authors introduce the four major methods economists use to analyze efficiency and productivity: econometric estimation of average response, index numbers, data envelopment analysis (DEA), and stochastic frontier analysis. They intend the book primarily as a text for students in economics and also for students in other disciplines, such as business administration. … On the whole, I rate the book as excellent … ." (Jamshed A. Modi, Interfaces, Vol. 37 (2), 2007)

Graduate level book 10 Nov 2006

By Mapster - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Im using this book for a class on the same topic as the name of the book. My prof is someone who is an expert on the topic and he knows the author well. In fact he's writing his own book. I find the topics advanced, maybe for senior level econ-math majors and more for graduate study. Reader must have a decent background in economics and mathematics to grasp concepts as the into, which was supposed to be a crash course in microecon would not be helpful to someone with no prior training.

An excellent introductory book on productivity measurement. 5 April 2008

By Jorge O. Pires - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

This book covers three major approaches to productivity measurement, namely: Index Numbers, Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontiers. Examples and applications are provided using software available from the authors' website for free. No doubt it's the best starting point for those who want to learn about the subject.

An introduction to efficiency and production analysis 28 Mar 2008

By Kenji Inoue - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I bought this book for using the Coelli's software of DEA. This text is useful for expanding the area of this type of study. We can get a manual of his program from the book's site, though. We are able to understand more easily how to put together many data.
