Abstract

Data envelopment analysis is a data-driven tool for building a composite index. Fare et al. (1995) proposed an attribute-incorporated data envelopment analysis where a Malmquist productivity index including attributes was formulated. The attribute-incorporated Malmquist productivity index was decomposed into quality change, efficiency change, and technical change. However, this attribute-incorporated Malmquist productivity index may yield incorrect results due to the fact that its separable multiplier only considers the reference technology and ignores the corresponding period data. This current paper proposes a revised decomposition version of the attribute-incorporated Malmquist productivity index. In addition, we propose an aggregate quality change model which is extended from Färe et al. (1995), where subjective quality and objective quality are considered at the same time. The aggregate quality change model is useful for measuring changes in the quality of life. An application in this paper shows that, within quality attributes, subjective quality of life has a more significant impact on the overall urban quality of life than objective quality of life.

质量变化的分解：关注主观生活质量

数据包络分析是建立综合指数的数据驱动工具。Fare 等人（1995 年）提出了一种包含属性的数据包络分析法，即制定包含属性的 Malmquist 生产率指数。属性包络的 Malmquist 生产率指数被分解为质量变化、效率变化和技术变化。然而，由于其可分离乘数只考虑了参考技术，而忽略了相应时期的数据，因此这种包含属性的马尔奎斯特生产率指数可能会产生不正确的结果。本文提出了一个修订版的属性内含马尔奎斯特生产率指数分解法。此外，我们还提出了一个由 Färe 等人（1995 年）扩展而来的总体质量变化模型，其中同时考虑了主观质量和客观质量。总体质量变化模型可用于衡量生活质量的变化。本文的应用表明，在质量属性中，主观生活质量比客观生活质量对城市整体生活质量的影响更大。

期刊介绍： Omega reports on developments in management, including the latest research results and applications. Original contributions and review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields or functions of management, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular management techniques. Other features of the journal are the "Memoranda" section for short communications and "Feedback", a correspondence column. Omega is both stimulating reading and an important source for practising managers, specialists in management services, operational research workers and management scientists, management consultants, academics, students and research personnel throughout the world. The material published is of high quality and relevance, written in a manner which makes it accessible to all of this wide-ranging readership. Preference will be given to papers with implications to the practice of management. Submissions of purely theoretical papers are discouraged. The review of material for publication in the journal reflects this aim.
