The various results available from  the literature have been brought together into a consistent framework,  based upon modern duality theory. This integration also made it  possible to generalize several of these results. Thus, this book will  be an important resource for theoretically as well as  empirically-oriented researchers who seek to analyse economic problems  with the help of index numbers. \u003cbr\u003e  Although this book's emphasis is on micro-economic theory, it is also  intended as a practical guide. A full chapter is therefore devoted to  an empirical application. Three different approaches are pursued: a  straightforward empirical approach, a non-parametric estimation  approach, and a parametric estimation approach. As well as  illustrating some of the more important concepts explored in this  book, and showing to what extent different computational approaches  lead to different outcomes for the same measures, this chapter also  makes a powerful case for the use of enterprise micro-data in economic  research.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 December 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781441950543\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804806156428,"sku":"9781441950543","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441950543.jpg?v=1781782747","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781441950543","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
