Griliches' 1994 presidential address considers the limited success economists had in trying to account for the productivity slowdown of the 1970's and 1980's, and "urges us toward the task of observation and measurement." In the 1990's, the high rates of productivity growth emphasized the need for new models of productivity, this time turning to estimating organization-level determinants of pro...
متن کاملThe 'Vanishing' IT Productivity: A Simple Theory
The perceived phenomenon that huge investments in information technology (IT) over the past four decades have yielded a very small gain in productivity has been dubbed the “IT paradox.” Researchers have tried various methods to prove or disprove the “paradox.” This article highlights the challenges researchers have faced and proposes a simple theory to explain what seems to be a vanishing contr...
متن کاملThe broader effects of transportation infrastructure: Spatial econometrics and productivity approaches
The importance of ‘‘broader” economic effects of transportation infrastructure has recently become apparent. ‘‘Broader” refers to impacts beyond the geographic boundaries within which the infrastructure investments are undertaken. Approaches to estimate ‘‘broader” impacts in production and cost function models are evaluated. A contribution of this paper is the empirical demonstration with a cro...
متن کاملTesting two simple pesticide runoff models in Northern Australian agriculture
The Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting program (P2R) (Department of Premier and Cabinet, 2009) is investigating ways to improve agricultural management practices and the quality of water entering the Great Barrier Reef. One of the major risks to GBR water quality is pesticide runoff from agricultural industries. Direct measurement of pesticide fate and behavior is bo...
متن کاملA simple approximation of productivity scores of fuzzy production plans
This paper suggests a simple approximation procedure for the assessment of productivity scores with respect to fuzzy production plans. The procedure has a clear economic interpretation and all the necessary calculations can be performed in a spreadsheet making it highly operational.
