Productivity Change of UK Airports: 2000-2005

Abstract

In this paper, the two innovative nonparametric models, the Luenberger productivity model and Luenberger–Hicks–Moorsteen productivity indicator are used to estimate the productivity of UK airports. These airports are ranked according to their total productivity for the period 2000- 2005 showing that the majority of UK airports are not improving their efficiency in the period. Economic implications arising from the study are derived.productivity measurements; UK airports; data envelopment analysis; Luenberger productivity indicator and Luenberger–Hicks–Moorsteen productivity indicator.
