Estimation and Analysis of Multifactor Productivity in Truck Transportation: 1987-2003

摘要

The analysis has three objectives: 1) to estimate multifactor productivity (MFP) in truck transportation during 1987-2003; 2) to examine changes in multifactor productivity in U.S. truck transportation, over time, and to compare these changes to MFP of the U.S. business sector and other transportation subsectors; and 3) to assess the factors that affected changes of MFP in truck transportation over the period of analysis.
