Transitive Index Numbers for Cross-Sections and Panel Data
Description
Computing transitive (and non-transitive) index numbers (Coelli et al., 2005 ) for cross-sections and panel data. For the calculation of transitive indexes, the EKS (Coelli et al., 2005 ; Rao et al., 2002 ) and Minimum spanning tree (Hill, 2004 ) methods are implemented. Traditional fixed-base and chained indexes, and their growth rates, can also be derived using the Paasche, Laspeyres, Fisher and Tornqvist formulas.
