MEASURING PRODUCTIVITY
为经济研究者梳理了生产率测量方法的选择问题，按宏观/微观、前沿/非前沿、确定性/计量三个标准分类，帮助研究者根据目标和数据选择合适方法。
Abstract Quantifying productivity is a conditio sine qua non for empirical analysis in a number of research fields. The identification of the measure that best fits with the specific goals, as well as being data driven, is currently complicated by the fact that an array of methodologies is available. This paper provides economic researchers with an up‐to‐date overview of issues and relevant solutions associated with this choice. Methods of productivity measurement are surveyed and classified according to three main criteria: (i) macro/micro; (ii) frontier/non‐frontier and (iii) deterministic/econometric.
