Productivity of Services in the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe: Analysis Using Malmquist Indices

This research aims to study the growth of productivity in the service sector in the former Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) and their determinants. For this purpose, nonparametric frontier techniques were used to measure the variations in productivity and determine the explanatory fact...
