"Sickles and Zelenyuk have written the most comprehensive book on production theory and the measurement of productivity in the history of these subjects. Researchers, students, and teachers who are interested in production theory and the measurement of productivity will treasure this book." W. Erwin Diewert, Professor of Economics, University of British Columbia and The University of New South Wales - "Productivity and efficiency measurement has been a growth area for fifty years.
Sickles and Zelenyuk bring together all the theory and practice, including the rich history, the full range of methods, and all the schools of thought. This is an amazingly comprehensive survey of the field." William Greene, Professor of Economics, New York University - "Sickles and Zelenyuk have written an outstanding book on a very important topic - the measurement of productivity and efficiency.
The book provides a complete and thorough introduction to the economic theory of production and its many applications to national accounting and econometric modeling. An especially valuable feature of the book is the detailed treatment of productivity and growth in the world economy." Dale Jorgenson, Samuel W. Morris University Professor, Harvard University - "Rarely does a book comprehensively survey and creatively extend both the theoretical underpinnings and the practical implementation of a field of research.
This is such a book, and it belongs on the (shelf) desk of all scholars interested in producer performance measurement." C. A. Knox Lovell, Honorary Professor, The University of Queensland - "Sickles and Zelenyuk, outstanding researchers from two generations, impart their knowledge and wisdom into this monumental book on theory and practice of efficiency and productivity measurement. This is an invaluable resource for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners alike.
Strongly recommended." D. S. Prasada Rao, Emeritus Professor, School of Economics, The University of Queensland
