Abstract :
Malmquist Index is the widely used method to measure the productivity change between two time periods. In this paper we develop a new method to evaluate the productivity change using Data Envelopment Analysis. An illustration is presented in this paper to evaluate the impact of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA). The impact is calculated by comparing the change in the production function before and after the intervention.
