Description

Professor Sten Malmquist constructed the Malmquist quantity index and in doing so developed a distance function defined on a consumption space. This function is the consumer analog to the Shephard input distance function of producers and is used in ratio form to define the quantity index. This volume contains new contributions based on Malmquist's work nearly 50 years ago and provides modern perspectives on the value of this research.

First Sentence

Although nobody seems to have recognized it at the time, 1953 was a banner year for duality theory, which in turn facilitated a veritable revolution in the application of consumer and producer theory some two decades later.
