A simplification of the Kopp—Diewert method of decomposing cost efficiency and some implications

Earlier papers by Kopp and Diewert (1982) and Zieschang (1983) have considered ways of decomposing the overall productive efficiency into technical and allocative components given the parameters of a frontier cost function. This paper presents a simplified approach to the same problem, and some impl...

Zusammenfassung:	Earlier papers by Kopp and Diewert (1982) and Zieschang (1983) have considered ways of decomposing the overall productive efficiency into technical and allocative components given the parameters of a frontier cost function. This paper presents a simplified approach to the same problem, and some implications for a possible solution of the ‘Greene problem’ [Greene (1980)a].
