MEASURING TOTAL PRODUCTIVITY OF TURKISH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY BASED ON ACCOUNTING DATA

Abstract

Productivity is still an important performance measure for the firm level and macroeconomic level. This study addresses total productivity measurement based on RAPMODS using basic accounting data for Turkish manufacturing industry for the period of 2006 to 2016. The results obtained from the analysis allows us to understand the total productivity and the source of the productivity changes related to partial productivities of the Turkish manufacturing industry. Furthermore, the potential productivity improvement areas are interpreted owing to these results.
