Synopsis
This book extends the efficiency literature to the case of intertemporal models. First, the authors introduce static network models which serve as building blocks for the intertemporal budgeting models and the dynamic models. Next, the authors devote two chapters to productivity measurements, which are considered as comparative static models. Intertemporal budgeting models and dynamic models are taken up subsequently. Each chapter, except the first, contains empirical applications.

Extends the efficiency literature to the case of intertemporal production models, with the ultimate goal of developing a fully dynamic model that can be implemented using activity analysis models. Covers static production structure, distance functions and productivity, biased and embodied technical change, indirect production and intertemporal budgeting, and dynamic production models. Presents a case study measuring the efficiency of public grazing in the western US. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
