Malmquist Index Approach to Efficiency Analysis in Selected Old and New EU Member States
Original language description
The paper deals with an application of quantitative analysis - the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, to performance evaluation of the Visegrad Four countries in comparison with selected advanced EU Member States - Austria and Germany, in the reference period 2000-2010. The main purpose of this approach is to evaluate numerical grades of efficiency of economical processes within evaluated countries. The main aim of the paper is to measure efficiency changes over the reference period and to analyse a level of productivity in individual countries based on the Malmquist Index. The theoretical part of the paper is devoted to the fundamental basis of performance theory and the methodology of the DEA method - especially the Malmquist Index. The empirical part is aimed at measuring the degree of productivity and level of efficiency changes of evaluated countries by the specialized DEA approach - the Malmquist Index measuring the change of technical efficiency and the movement of the production possibility frontier. Here, the DEA method becomes a suitable tool for setting a competitive/uncompetitive position of each country because there is not only one factor evaluated, but a set of different factors that determine the degree of economic development. Therefore, efficiency of country can be considered as a mirror of the competitiveness. The final part of the paper offers a comprehensive comparison of results obtained by calculating the Malmquist Index.
