These include economic environment, technological level, and any given strategy used in production. These variables may cause bias when measuring productivity change, such as introducing traditional DEA and SFA methods that assume the level of production technology among firms to be homogeneous. Therefore, in order to measure changes in productivity within firms this study introduces the metafrontier Malmquist productivity index proposed by Oh & Lee (2009). We clustered the biotechnology firms based on their respective areas and different time periods before measuring any changes in productivity. Also, to avoid problems resulting from radial oriented measures, this study further applied a non-oriented measure, i.e., the geometric distance function proposed by Portela & Thanassoulis (2006) instead of distance function in metafrontier Malmquist index. Finally, the study compares changes in productivity among biotechnology firms and explored possible causes of the changes in productivity within those firms. The metafrontier Malmquist productivity of the global biotechnology industry undergoes 16%; efficiency change shows a rise of 1 %; technical change declines 1 %; and technology gap ratio change shows 17 % growth. This study also compares with the model of Oh & Lee (2010). There are some differences between these two models, which might be affected by distance function. We use geometric distance function, which is not affected by the oriented and can therefore fairly access productivity and decomposition. Jun-Yen Lee 李俊彥 2011 學位論文 ; thesis 0 zh-TW |
