Aggregation of Individual Efficiency Measures and Productivity Indices

Author

Abstract

Here we consider the problem of aggregation of efficiency and productivity indices. We will summarize some of the existing results and will derive new results for aggregation of Hicks-Moorsteen productivity indices.
