Description: Cost Structure and the Measurement of Economic Performance is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to students, researchers or consultants who wish to model, construct, interpret, and use economic performance measures. The topical emphasis is on productivity growth and its dependence on the cost structure.

The methodological focus is on application of the tools of economic analysis - the "thinking structure" provided by microeconomic theory - to measure technological or cost structure, and link it with market and regulatory structure. This provides a rich basis for evaluation of economic performance and its determinants.
