Abstract

Over the last two decades, methodological developments on the parametric measurement of firms? productive performance have referred to two analytical approaches: the average production function and the production frontier. Each of these methods has its own benefits and limitations, either for econometric estimation or the interpretation of regression results. The methodological section of the paper is extended by an empirical application to the case of 324 Moroccan firms in the garment sector, which we follow over a three-year period (2000-2002). JEL Classification: D02, D03, D04, D22, D24.
