Positive growth (decline) is indicated by positive (negative) value. Unlike the Malmquist
index, the Luenberger productivity indicator is additively decomposed as follows:
L(zt,zt+1)=[Dt(z;g)-Dt+1(zt+1;g)]+
2 [Dt+ι (zt+ι ; g)- Dt (zt+1 ; g)+Dt+ι (zt ; g)- D(zt ; g)], (6)
where the first term (inside the first brackets) measures efficiency change between time
periods t and t+1 while the arithmetic mean of the difference between the two figures inside
the second brackets expresses the technological change component, which represents the shift
of technology between the two time periods. This decomposition was inspired by the
breakdown of the Malmquist productivity index in Fare et al. (1989). For a complete
overview of the decompositions of productivity measures, see Grosskopf (2003). Figure 1
illustrates the Luenberger productivity indicator.

Finally, in an aggregate context, following Farrell (1957) and Briec et al. (2003), we
use an aggregate directional distance function constructed as:

Dt ∣∑ xk, ∑ ʃkl. (7)
V k=1 k=1 J
