摘要
The article presents efficiency and productivity analysis of US metal industry in 2006-2014. The main purpose of this paper is to compare the efficiency of 6 sectors manufacturing metal products in US. The study applies the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), which was used to analyze changes in metal industry productivity. The study indicated that technological progress had a greater impact on the change in productivity of metal industry in US than changes in technical efficiency. Meanwhile, the highest average index of changes in MPI during the period was achieved by metal pipe and tube manufacturing.
