“…Baroos and Alves (2004) used the DEA method to estimate the total productivity change of a Portuguese retail chain, and decomposed it into technical efficiency change and technical change to obtain the productivity of different stores along the chain [23]. Moreno and Jorge (2012) used DEA to analyze the data of retail companies in five European countries from 1998 to 2006, used the Malmquist Index to analyze their productivity growth, and found the difference between the results of different measurement methods [24]. Shin and Eksioglu (2015) used the regression analysis of the Cobb-Douglas production function to confirm that RFID retailers have higher labor/revenue elasticity than non-RFID retailers, indicating that RFID retailers have higher labor productivity [25].…”

Total factor productivity (TFP) is critical to the sustainable development of the rural distribution industry. Improvements in productivity of the rural distribution industry can promote the high-quality development of the Chinese distribution industry. Studying the characteristics and influencing factors of total factor productivity in regard to the rural distribution industry in China is significant for promoting the transformation and development of the rural distribution industry. This paper uses the DEA–Malmquist Index to measure the total factor productivity (TFP) of the Chinese rural distribution industry and its decomposition index, and uses a panel data model to empirically study its influencing factors. The results show that, from 2008 to 2018, the TFP of the Chinese rural distribution industry showed a trend of rising first and then fluctuating and declining, with an average annual growth rate of 2.93%; the fluctuation direction of the TFP of the rural distribution industry in the eastern and western regions of China is basically the same, which has had a reverse change relationship with the central and northeast regions for many years. The industrial structure, urbanization rate, rural informatization rate, and conditions of the transportation facilities have significant impacts on the TFP of the rural distribution industry, among which the informatization rate has the greatest positive impact.

Productivity growth, technical change and efficiency change of the Malaysian cage fish farming: an application of Malmquist Productivity Index approach

2014

The demand for animal protein especially fish is expanding due to the population growth, increased incomes and changes in eating habits and life styles. The capture fisheries in Malaysia which supply over 70 % of the fish used for food are over-exploited, and the yield has become stagnant over the last decades and in some cases it has even declined. In addition, the balance of trade for the past decade has been negative signaling a threat to the economic growth. However, aquaculture has the potential to meet these challenges if it is well practiced. This can be done through improving productivity of fish farms. The study aims to compute the total factor productivity (TFP) growth and its components. In addition, it aims to identify the sources of TFP growth in aquaculture. Malmquist Productivity Index using data envelopment analysis and regression model has been employed to analyze the data. The TFP growth was estimated to be greater than one, indicating progress in the productivity. According to the results obtained in this study, technological change is the more important contributor to TFP growth. Nevertheless, efficiency changes also play a vital role in improving aquaculture production.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the competitive position of the company Inditex in the period 1990-2013 as a case study, identified by academics and professionals as a successful company. The analysis has focussed on the comparison of Inditex with its competitive environment. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used to achieve the objectives was: data envelopment analysis for the analysis of efficiency and for the second the Tobit regression to determine the factors explaining efficiency. The authors have used additional methodologies such as social networks or cluster analysis. Findings – The individual company analysis reveals that the average efficiency level by years for the period 1990-2013, is relatively high 88.8 percent. The determinants of efficiency have been; the resources of the company in terms of assets whose relationship with is U-shaped curvilinear, where the minimum value (trend change) is produced between years 2002 and 2003. The degree of internationalization of the firm, is positively related to efficiency. As the company increases its expansion, experience and skills, increases efficiency. Finally, the effect of liberalization of textile trade in 2005 had no influence on the efficiency levels. Research limitations/implications – The limitations involving the methodology, in terms of representativeness, possible generalizations and type of secondary information used, can be offset by the ability to provide good vision and establish alternatives for possible studies. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the fast-fashion retail industry literature by emphasizing the importance of the case study.
