Abstract

This paper proposes an allocation Malmquist index which is inspired by
the work on the non-parametric cost Malmquist index. We first show that how to
decompose the cost Malmquist index into the input-oriented Malmquist index and
the allocation Malmquist index. An application in corporate management of the
China securities industry with the panel data set of 40 securities companies during
the period 2005–2011 shows the practicality of the propose model.
