- Title
MEASURING PLANT CAPACITY, UTILIZATION AND TECHNICAL CHANGE: A NONPARAMETRIC APPROACH.
- Authors
Fare, Rolf; Grosskopf, Shawna; Kokkelenberg, Edward C.
- Abstract
In this paper we develop measures of plant capacity, plant capacity utilization, and technical change based on observed best practice performance in a given industry. These measures are calculated as solutions to linear programming problems which are closely related to those used to calculate Farrell-type efficiency measures. An example using electric utility data is included.
