What is Measurement Issues and Behavior of Productivity Variables (Studies in Productivity Analysis (8)) about?

This book presents a set of papers from the leading edge of current research on productivity analysis. The focus is on alternative forms of measurement, methods, and their implications.

The second chapter (by H. Pesaran and R. Tarling) is a detailed analysi·s of measurement of labor and its variations over time. The next two chapters concern the measurement of capital. The first of these is written by M. F. Mohr; the second is by B. M. Fraumeni and D. W. Jorgenson. The final chapter is by I. B. Kravis, A. W. Heston, and R.

Decisions for improving productivity rely upon explicit as well as implicit assumptions on how productivity is related to a variety of factors.

This is why better understanding of measurement issues and behavior of variables related to productivity can lead more effective policies. We plan to continue in this
