摘要:This study employs “Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)” method to calculate the “Total Factor Productivity (TFP)” growth and its components of 19 non-financial firms from Cement and Energy sectors of Pakistan listed on ISE-100 Index during the time period 20052011. The research focuses on to identify the factors like, technical change and technical efficiency change tends to influence the TFP of cement -and energy sectors of Pakistan. We use hand collected data from the annual reports of these non-financial firms included in our sample. Results show that cement sector has an overall positive TFP growth of 9.7%, and energy sector has an overall TFP growth of 1.5% during the study period. The study may assist us to recognize the extent to which these components can affect the TFP of a sector, and will further help us to explore new ways to boost up the productivity of these sectors which in turn may be beneficial to move country towards a sustainable path.
