Kjellerup, D

What is the most meaningful measurement of a utility's total productivity. Efforts by regulators and utility management to develop a measurement which considers the contributions made by various factors of production to gains or losses in productivity have met with varying degrees of success. A formula approach is proposed which more clearly identifies and quantifies input and output. The author outlines the suggested methodology, discusses its limitations, and explores the potential for widespread application. 1 table
