In this paper measures of capacity following those suggested Leif
Johansen (1968) are developed. By taking advantage of Shepard s duality,
Shephard (1970) see also Fare and Primont (1995), both primal and dual multioutput
measures of capacity can be derived. Having generalized the capacity
utilization measures, we show how these may be entered into measures of
productivity. In particular, following DeBorger and Kerstens (1999), we show
how the Malmquist direct and indirect productivity measures are related to our
various measures of capacity utilization efficiency.

On Two Definitions of
Caves et al. in 1982 introduced a productivity measure that does not
proceed from a continuous timer presentation. They named these indexes after
Sten Malmquist who in 1953 used ratios of distance functions to formulate
quantity indexes in the consumer contest. In a later paper, Diewert proposed
an alternative definition of productivity also based on distance functions,
which he attributed to Hicks and Moorsteen. In this letter we provide
necessary and sufficient conditions for the Malmquist productivity index to
equal the Hicks-Moorsteen index.

Many production activities generate undesirable byproducts in
conjunction with the desirable outputs they produce. Pittman (1983) showed
how to adjust productivity calculations, and Fare et al. (1989) showed how to
adjust efficiency measures, in the presence of undesirable outputs. Here, we
show how to estimate output distance functions as frontiers to generate shadow
values of the undesirable outputs that are required to make both types of
adjustment. An empirical application is provided.
