An empirical study on productivity analysis of Indian leather industry

摘要: Purpose It is essential to track the development of resource and pollution intensive industries such as textile, leather, pharmaceutical, etc., under burgeoning pressure environmental compliance. Therefore, purpose this paper analyze progress Indian leather industry in terms individual factors total factor productivity. Design/methodology/approach This study applies examines various concepts productivity labor productivity, capital material energy productivity. Further, it assesses compares performance Tamil Nadu (TN), West Bengal (WB) Uttar Pradesh (UP) based on analysis, spatial variations determinants technology closeness ratio. Findings The findings suggest that per WB clusters have performed remarkably better partial technical efficiency (TE), followed by TN UP. This can be attributed shifting cluster a state-of art complex with many avenues for conservation. reveal firm size productivities significant positive correlation TE which supports technological theory firm. Practical implications The results useful policy makers associated especially design interventions support capacity building at level well enhance overall industry. Social also dependence according larger firms should reflect conservation practices, instance concept prevention than cure upon 3R (reduce, recycle reuse) principles. Originality/value The gives an explanation its TE.
