EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY CHANGE ACROSS THE ECONOMIC SECTORS IN LITHUANIA (2000–2010): THE DEA–MULTIMOORA APPROACH
用DEA和MULTIMOORA方法评估立陶宛2000-2010年各经济部门的效率与生产率变化，发现服务业最有效，制造业次之，其中制药、木材、食品和家具行业效率较高。
Reasonable strategic management requires the complex assessment of the regulated area. This study, thus, presents a multi-criteria framework for frontier assessment of efficiency and productivity across the Lithuanian economic sectors throughout 2000–2010. The data envelopment analysis was employed to estimate efficiency in terms of an output indicator (value added) and input indicators (intermediate consumption, capital consumption, and remunerations). Furthermore, the decomposition of the Malmquist productivity index enabled to describe the impact of frontier shifts and catch-up effect on the overall change in efficiency. The multi-criteria decision making method MULTIMOORA aggregated different indicators of efficiency and productivity and thus resulted in the ranking of the economic sectors. The analysis suggests that services sector was the most efficient one, whereas manufacturing was second best. Certain branches of manufacturing, namely pharmaceutical, wood, food, and furniture industry, were rather efficient.
