Indonesia sustained an average increase in agricultural output of 3.6% per year between 1961 and 2006, resulting in a more than fivefold increase in real output. This paper constructs Tornqvist-Thiel indices of agricultural outputs, inputs and total factor productivity (TFP) to examine the sources of growth in Indonesian agriculture over this period. The paper extends previous work on measuring...

There is a kind of seemingly nonsensical play behavior found in the simulation sandbox game genre. This behavior is very spontaneous and impulsive and associated with self-initiated learning, and here the author seeks to better understand what it is, and why it seems associated with simulation sandbox games. That is: What purpose does it serve, and what might provoke it? This requires a review ...

In 32PO4-labeled adipocytes, isoproterenol (ISO) or physiologically relevant concentrations of insulin rapidly increased phosphorylation of a particulate 135-kDa protein which has been identified as a cGMP-inhibited "low Km" cAMP phosphodiesterase (CGI-PDE) by several criteria, including selective immunoprecipitation with anti-CGI-PDE IgG (Degerman, E., Smith, C.J., Tornqvist, H., Vasta, V., Be...

It is the flow of capital services, instead of the capital stock, along with the flows of other inputs which is related to the flows of outputs in economic theory of cost and production. In applied research, quite often to capture the dynamic phenomena which occurs within a year, there is a need to use quarterly data which may not be captured by annual data. However, quarterly data on capital i...

Agriculture is particularly vulnerable to climate change because it faces open weather conditions. In uncontrolled circumstances, it's difficult attain better total factor productivity (TFP), which characterizes agriculture growth in an economy. The study estimated the TFP of Pakistan’s first step by employing Tornqvist- Theil index number approach for period 1990-2019. time series data thirtee...
