Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of productivity measurement, a vital tool for understanding the efficiency of production processes across various industries and economic sectors. The author explores both single factor productivity (SFP) and total factor productivity (TFP) methods, comparing their strengths and limitations in assessing technological change. The text highlights the inherent ambiguities of SFP, which focus on a single input, such as labor, and often fail to capture the full picture of technological progress. The book then introduces the TFP method, a more comprehensive approach that considers all major inputs in a production process, including labor, materials, and capital. The author outlines a specific TFP measurement method developed by Caves, Christensen, and Swanson, emphasizing its theoretical foundation and practical application in various industries. The book further explores the data requirements for implementing TFP measurement in the construction industry, drawing on real-world data sources like the Census of Construction Industries. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable framework for understanding and applying the principles of productivity measurement, particularly within the construction industry, shedding light on the factors driving efficiency and technological change within this critical sector. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
