This comprehensive book offers a thorough exploration of the fundamental concepts and statistical methodologies employed in analyzing economic performance. With a strong emphasis on measures that hold practical significance for policymakers, it delves into a wide range of performance indicators. These measures, which can be broadly categorized as productivity and efficiency metrics, are interconnected through diverse fields such as index number theory, data envelopment analysis, and stochastic frontier analysis. The book elucidates the computation of input and output quantity change measures that adhere to measurement theory principles, providing a solid foundation for further analysis. It then discusses the decomposition of productivity changes into components reflecting technical progress, environmental impacts, and various types of efficiency improvements. Designed primarily for advanced graduate students, researchers, statisticians, accountants, and economists engaged in academic, research, and applied settings within universities, regulatory authorities, government departments, and private firms, this book provides numerous numerical examples and includes access to computer codes and datasets on a companion website. By comprehensively covering these topics, the book serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to advance their understanding of economic performance analysis and its practical applications.
