Field‐Level Measurement of Land Productivity and Program Slippage

DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES

The purpose of this research is to present an alternative approach for measuring productivity in manufacturing companies. To achieve the research objective, an in depth investigation on the existing productivity measurement and analysis practices of a case manufacturing company has been carried out through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The investigation result has shown that the...

Land Use Regulation and Productivity – Land Matters Land Use Regulation and Productivity – Land Matters: Evidence from a Uk Supermarket Chain

We use unique store-specific data for a major UK supermarket chain to estimate the impact of planning, which restricts both the size and location of stores, on store output. Using the quasi-natural experiment of the variation in planning policies between England and other UK countries and a difference-in-difference approach, we isolate the impact of Town Centre First (TCF) policies. We find tha...

Rheological Measurement of Suspensions Without Slippage: Experimental and Model

Rheological measurements of suspensions are often performed using a rotational rheometer. In this type of rheometer, the tested fluid is sheared between two surfaces, one of which is rotating to generate a laminar flow of the fluid between the surfaces (i.e., a Couette flow). Manufacturers of commercially available rheometers generally recommend the use of a standard oil of known viscosity to v...

Metropolitan Land Values and Housing Productivity∗

We present the first nationwide index of directly-measured land values by metropolitan area and investigate their relationship with housing prices. Construction prices and geographic and regulatory constraints are shown to increase the cost of housing relative to land. On average, approximately one-third of housing costs are due to land, with an increasing share in higher-value areas, implying ...
