"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.
