Abstract:

The paper seeks to estimate the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) of Total Factor Productivity Growth (TFPG) of 14 three-digit manufacturing industries in West Bengal during the period from 2000-01 to 2019-20. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique is used to estimate the TFPG and its three components, considering three-digit manufacturing industries in West Bengal. Data are taken from the Annual Survey of Industries. The decomposition analysis of MPI shows that the TFP growth accounts for 2.98% per annum during the period under study. Moreover, it is found that the technical change is the prime source of productivity increase, taking all the industries together.
