This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article first reviews the well-known nonparametric methods of decomposing productivity growth and finally argue that Färe et al. (1994)'s method of computing productivity growth is superior in spite of the fact that this model model is based on convexity postulate, which assumes away some important technological features such as indivisiblities, economies of scale, and economies of specialization, which all arise from concavities in production. Second, we find the measurement of capacity utilization by Färe et al. (1989) not very practical, and therefore suggest a new method to measure capacity utilization, and then decompose the cost gap between actual and minimum cost into various components that are of practical use to managers, with special emphasis on that component due to unused capacity. Finally, this study applies Färe et al. method to a sample of 60 steel units in India over the period 1989-1996 to decompose the productivity growth into its various components. The results reveal that despite technological progress, there is a decline in productivity growth due to growing inefficiency over the period. This article finally concludes by suggesting that bold institutional policy changes is to be introduced as a part of the liberalization process in order that inefficiency is substantially reduced, resulting productivity growth to increase for the time to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Reserve Board's (FRB) series on capacity utilization constitutes an important indicator of resource utilization. However, it is well known that economic capacity is difficult both to define and to measure. This paper considers alternative measures of capacity in which time-series methods are used to extract a permanent component from data on industrial production (IP). For a given industry, all that is needed to estimate the permanent component is the IP index for that industry. The associated utilization measure is calculated as IP divided by its permanent component. These measures have the advantage of being consistently measured over time; also, they are easily reproducible. Measures of resource utilization are primarily useful as indicators of inflation. Accordingly, the FRB series are evaluated relative to the alternatives in terms of their ability to explain both current and future producer price inflation. Data are analyzed for manufacturing as a whole and for a number of disaggregated industries. The results show that the alternative series generally perform as well as or better than the FRB series in terms of their ability to explain or predict inflation.
