Software productivity has always been one of the most critical metrics for measuring software development. However, with open-source community (e.g., GitHub), new development models are emerging. The traditional do not provide a comprehensive measure models. Therefore, it is necessary to build measurement model open source ecosystem suitable community’s production activities. Based on natural e...

This paper provides an overview of a study by Productivity Commission staff that sought to quantify the effects of domestic and foreign R&D on Australia’s productivity performance. The estimates obtained were sensitive and imprecise and standard models were shown to be mis-specified. The use of capitalised R&D expenditure to proxy knowledge stocks is one possible contributor to the estimation p...

The study proposes a new way of measuring productivity and efficiency, with and without considering environmental effects from a production activity, by modifying the conventional Luenberger productivity indicator. The Luenberger approach has so far been applied in productivity and efficiency measurement in time-varying contexts. It has been mainly used in comparisons of international productiv...
