"Productivity Measurement for a Health Insurer," Journal
of Insurance Issues, Sakosky, Carol A. and S.
Travis Pritchett, June 1987, Vol. X, No. 2: 49-60.
ABSTRACT
The nature of productivity measurement and problems specific to
measuring insurance productivity are discussed. A specific measure--based
on microeconomic principles, a multiproduct output concept, and
readily available firm-level data--is developed. The measure should
be applicable to the operations of any health insurer and is designed
for use by health insurers interested in productivity measurement.
