Book Arguing a Case for Cobb Douglas Production Function

Download or read book Arguing a Case for Cobb Douglas Production Function written by K. V. Bhanu Murthy and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper argues that Cobb-Douglas (CD) production function merits use for analyzing the production process, not because it should be looked upon as a simple tool which can be handled easily or as a crude remedy for estimation, but because of the advantages it possesses. These advantages are due to the fact that it can handle multiple inputs in its generalized form. Even in the face of imperfections in the market, it does not introduce distortions of its own. Unconstrained CD-function further increases its potentialities to handle different scales of production. Various econometric estimation problems, such as serial correlation, heteroscidasticity and multicolinearity can be handled adequately and easily. It is argued that most of its criticism is focussed on its inflexibility and admits that except for one obvious assumptions all other assumptions can be relaxed. It is further argued that it facilitates computations and has the properties of explicit representability, uniformity, parsimony and flexibility. Even the problem of simultaneity can be overcome. The paper argues that aggregate technology can also be well represented by it.

Book Facing Up to Low Productivity Growth

Download or read book Facing Up to Low Productivity Growth written by Adam S. Posen and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labor productivity growth in the United States and other advanced countries has slowed dramatically since the mid-2000s, a major factor in their economic stagnation and political turmoil. Economists have been debating the causes of the slowdown and possible remedies for some years. Unaddressed in this discussion is what happens if the slowdown is not reversed. In this volume, a dozen renowned scholars analyze the impact of sustained lower productivity growth on public finances, social protection, trade, capital flows, wages, inequality, and, ultimately, politics in the advanced industrial world. They conclude that slow productivity growth could lead to unpredictable and possibly dangerous new problems, aggravating inequality and increasing concentration of market power. Facing Up to Low Productivity Growth also proposes ways that countries can cope with these consequences.

Book Wage Moderation and Labour Productivity

Download or read book Wage Moderation and Labour Productivity written by Fredrick Hendrick Huizinga and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the Dutch economic policy debate, wage moderation is widely considered as a key factor for achieving economic growth and low unemployment. However, some economists criticise the policy emphasis on wage moderation, claiming that high wages are needed to maintain structural labour productivity growth. This paper analyses the effects of a wage push on labour productivity within the framework of endogenous technological progress, endogenous technology adoption and insufficient competition. The conclusion is that a wage push raises labour productivity in the short run. However, this rise in labour productivity is temporary and inefficient. In the long run, a wage push may well harm labour productivity. The main message of the paper is that it is probably best not to use wage policy at all as a tool to influence productivity. As a tool against unemployment, however, it is very effective. These insights are applied in a review of the Dutch post-war productivity growth."--Editor.

Book At the Roots of Italian Identity

Download or read book At the Roots of Italian Identity written by Edoardo Marcello Barsotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the relationship between the ideas of nation and race among the nationalist intelligentsia of the Italian Risorgimento and argues that ideas of race played a considerable role in defining Italian national identity. The author argues that the racialization of the Italians dates back to the early Napoleonic age and that naturalistic racialism—or race-thinking based on the taxonomies of the natural history of man—emerged well before the traditionally presumed date of the late 1860s and the advent of positivist anthropology. The book draws upon a wide number of sources including the work of Vincenzo Cuoco, Giuseppe Micali, Adriano Balbi, Alessanro Manzoni, Giandomenico Romagnosi, Cesare Balbo, Vincenzo Gioberti, and Carlo Cattaneo. Themes explored include links to antiquity on the Italian peninsula, archaeology, and race-thinking.
