Abstract
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to estimate total productivity change in the winery sector, decomposing it into efficiency change and technical change.
Design/methodology/approach
– The methodology is based on the estimation of the Malmquist productivity index for a sample of Spanish and Italian wineries between 2005 and 2013.
Findings
– The results show very low efficiency levels for the wineries under study. Further, Spanish and Italian wineries show a decrease in their average annual productivity for the period of time analysed.
Practical implications
– The analysis of the efficiency and the productivity of the wineries is crucial to improve their competitiveness and guarantee their survival.
Originality/value
– For the first time, a comparative analysis is carried out with data from two major wine-producing countries.
