This program is a tool for your research of efficiency dynamics using Malmquist Index. Malmquist Index and its components are calculated for many periods. The program creates reports with calculated values of Malmquist Index for researched objects.


HOW PROGRAM CALCULATES MALMQUIST INDEX


This program calculates values of Malmquist Index and its components using following formulas :

Malmquist Index

MI = EC * TC = PC * SC * TC

MI - Malmquist Index

EC - efficiency change

TC - technical change

PC - pure efficiency change

SC - scale efficiency change

The decomposition of Mamquist Index is executed using methods:

PROGRAM APPLIES MAIN MALMQUIST INDEX METHODS


The following Malmquist Index methods are applied in the program:

YOUR INPUT DATA FOR MALMQUIST INDEX SOFTWARE


You may prepare your input data as Excel table and then you should use the Importer utility to import your data to Malmquist Index Software. Look the example of Excel table with data for calculations of Malmquist index in the User's Guide



REPORTS CREATED BY MALMQUIST INDEX SOFTWARE


The program creates table reports with values of Malmquist Index and its components. The software generates five reports and saves them as .csv files. The reports are named in the following way:

Rpt1_MalmReportsDescription – a report explaining terms or names used in other generated reports;

Rpt2_MI – a report containing Malmquist index and its components computed for your dataset;

Rpt3_MalmEff - a report containing DEA efficiencies computed during Malmquist index calculation;

Rpt4_DataForRegression – a report containing data about Malmquist index, its components, DEA efficiencies computed during Malmquist index calculation and parameters of researched objects. This report may be used as source data for researching regression relationship between Malmquist Index and parameters of analyzed objects.You may use software KonSi-StepWise Regression Analysis to reseach data from created report with malmquist index values and parameters.

Rpt5_DataForPivotTable – a report containing data about Malmquist index, its components, DEA efficiencies and object parameters. This report may be used as source data for creating table reports by using MS Execel tools, for example, a pivot table.


HOW MALMQUIST INDEX SOFTWARE WORKS


You may study process of Malmquist Index calculation step-by-step using screenshots of program. You must execute following steps:
- prepare your data for each unit and each period as an Excel table;
- import your data to Malmquist Index Software;
- define type of Malmquist Index ( input-or-output oriented Malmquist Index );
- select Malmquist Index calculation method;
- create reports with calculated values of Malmquist Index, its components and CRS-VRS efficiencies for each time period.
