Malmquist-Luenberger Productivity Indicator/Evidence
Method evidence record

Malmquist-Luenberger Productivity Indicator

The Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) Productivity Index combines concepts from the Malmquist index and Luenberger's directional distance functions to measure total factor productivity (TFP) change over time. It decomposes productivity growth into technical efficiency change and technological progress, enabling comprehensive productivity assessment without requiring specific functional form assumptions.
