fishing per somewhat longer voyage and more fish per day at sea and per ton of fuel. These two British pioneer experiments have indicated two possible ways of improving the exploitation of wide-ranging fisheries. 'Those who rely on supplies brought in by distant-water trawlers may before very long be freezing sizeable quantities at sea' (European Productivity Agency of the Organisation for Euro...

The factors that account for the differences in the economic productivity of urban areas have remained difficult to measure and identify unambiguously. Here we show that a microscopic derivation of urban scaling relations for economic quantities vs. population, obtained from the consideration of social and infrastructural properties common to all cities, implies an effective model of economic o...

Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, considerable attention focused on long-term productivity slowdown observed across countries. This was referred as paradox, occurred at a time of significant technological change. The focus is expected resurface and gain prominence, once recovery from crisis fully underway.

Sustaining irrigated agriculture to meet food production needs while maintaining aquatic ecosystems is at the heart of many policy debates in various parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. Researchers and practitioners are increasingly calling for integrated approaches, and policy-makers are progressively supporting the inclusion of ecological and social aspects in water ma...

the relationship between productivity of economic sectors, effective real exchange rate, and purchasing power is a burning economic issue. based on the “balassa – samuelson” theory, higher economic productivity for tradeable goods leads to an increase in effective real exchange rate which is indicative of higher value of domestic money and higher purchasing power of money. the purpose of this s...

f rom the viewpoint of economic theories, total factor productivity (tfp) is the most important component that leads to economic growth and development. the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of knowledge-based economy on total factor productivity in the member countries of the middle east and north africa (mena) region. for this purpose, the panel data regression analysis ha...
