Preferred term

productive efficiency  

Definition

  • Productive efficiency, measured by the ratio between output and input, improves when the same input yields more, or better, output and is maximal when the output cannot be increased without increasing input. When the input is monetized and the output is not, the measurement can be called cost-effectiveness, cost utility, or cost efficacy.
