Productivity Growth in Chinese Construction Industry Considering Solid Wastes Generation

Abstract:

This paper employs the Malmquist-Luenberger Index to measure the productivity growth of the construction industry in China over 1997 to 2010 accounting for solid wastes produced. The average annual productivity growth is 5.38%.
