摘要: Abstract This paper is an empirical investigation of the relationship between relative technical efficiency and firm size in four Indian manufacturing industries. A frontier translog production function used to derive measures inefficiency at enterprise level. Given properties estimated these indices are also total factor productivity (TFP) which single most widely accepted measure productive efficiency. Variations correlated with several explanatory variables, including firm. Firm found be positively associated only one
