Aggregation in efficiency and productivity analysis: a brief review with new insights and justifications for constant
1School of Economics and Centre for Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (CEPA) at The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD Australia.
Abstract:
The main goal of this paper is to clarify a few important aspects about the aggregation issues in efficiency and productivity analysis. By doing so we also sketch a brief historical map on how the area of aggregation in efficiency and productivity analysis has developed to where it is now and its connection to some classic studies in economic theory. As a result, this paper also serves as a tribute to the great scholars I was lucky to learn from, Rolf Färe and Shawna Grosskopf, who made a profound impact on research in economics in general and the topic of aggregation in productivity and efficiency analysis in particular.

Regression Toward the Mean
Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
Central Tendency: Analysis
The mean is one such measure, calculated by totaling all values in a dataset and dividing by the number of values. For instance, the mean blood pressure reading (120, 130, 140, 150) would be 135. However, the mean can be affected by extreme values or outliers.
The median, another measure,...
