Overall, this book is an excellent book for anyone interested in measuring adn decomposing productivity growth, as well as factors that affect its measurement and decomposition. The book also provides readers with insights useful when considering whether a short-run or long-run cost function is the appropiate function to estimate. Professor Paul has provided readers with a very intuitive, substantial, and well-written book on the subject matter with many good references. The book could be used as a textbook for a graduate economics course on productivity growth measurement.
