Productivity and Undesirable Outputs: A Directional Distance Function Approach
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A directional distance function is introduced and used as a component in a new productivity index that readily models joint production of goods and bads, credits firms for reductions in bads and increases in goods, and does not require shadow prices of bad outputs.
