Abstract
The productivity of five major Jordanian industries
contributing 60 in the industrial sector production was studied
1; I wish to thank the two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments
with respect to a number of issues raised in this article
and analyzed. The Multi-Factor Productivity Measurement
Model (MFPMM) was applied to study the relationship between
productivity, price recovery and profitability. The study revealed
that the subject companies have increased their profits through
price recovery and not productivity. Fluctuations in partial and
total productivities for each company was also analyzed during
the period of study (1986 - 1988)
