cost structure and its implications for productivity and economic performance. The quantity of outputs produced, and the resources used up in the process, determines returns to factors and ultimately the per capita product available for consumption. Analysis of the cost structure allows us to charac

For analysis of productive processes and performance we have assumed the firm is on the function’s frontier or boundary; technical and/or behavioral optimizatio

Such an empirical representation of production processes, however, also requires some consideration of measurement methods or procedures, which is the focus of this final chapter.

This framework highlights the linkages between different aspects of productivity that must be unraveled to present a detailed and interpretable picture of the impacts and responses that determine economic performance.

Although it is useful to include information on as many outputs and inputs as possible in order to reflect all production and costs, and thus detailed production structure patterns, many data issues complicate the construction of such data.
