Book Productivity Revisited

Download or read book Productivity Revisited written by Ana Paula Cusolito and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productivity has again moved to center stage in two critical academic and policy debates: the slowing of global growth amid spectacular technological advances, and developing countries’ frustratingly slow progress in catching up to the technological frontier. Productivity Revisited brings together the new conceptual advances of 'second-wave' productivity analysis that have revolutionized the study of productivity, calling much previous analysis into question while providing a new set of tools for approaching these debates. The book extends this analysis and, using unique data sets from multiple developing countries, grounds it in the developing-country context. It calls for rebalancing away from an exclusive focus on misallocation toward a greater focus on upgrading firms and facilitating the emergence of productive new establishments. Such an approach requires a supportive environment and various types of human capital--managerial, technical, and actuarial--necessary to cultivate new transformational firms. The book is the second volume of the World Bank Productivity Project, which seeks to bring frontier thinking on the measurement and determinants of productivity to global policy makers.

  • Release :
  • ISBN : 9569946202
  • Pages : 1199 pages

Download or read book Descorchados 2018 written by Patricio Tapia and published by Pehoe Ediciones. This book was released on with total page 1199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Descorchados se publicó por primera vez en Chile en 1999, es decir, técnicamente tenemos dos décadas en el mercado. En un comienzo, eran apenas unos 600 vinos, todos chilenos; para esta versión, hemos probado unas 4.500 muestras, mientras que la guía se ha expandido a otros países, a otros vinos y a otros idiomas. Pero, aunque nos hemos internacionalizado, la idea sigue siendo la misma. Ofrecerles un panorama lo más amplio posible de lo que sucede en la escena de vinos sudamericana, lo que nos tienen que contar los vinos de Brasil, los de Argentina, los de Chile y Uruguay. Y suceden muchas cosas. La cepa país en Chile o criolla en Argentina, la uva que trajeron los conquistadores españoles y que por casi siglo y medio fue ninguneada, hoy revive y da vinos deliciosos, como también revive y da vinos exquisitos otro gran olvidado como el semillón, mientras que el malbec en Argentina deja atrás ya su época oscura de sobre madurez y excesos de madera para mostrar su verdadera cara refrescante. Y lo mismo con el tannat uruguayo, el fiero tannat que este año nos ha maravillado con su energía y frescor. Nos gusta pensar que hoy es el mejor momento para ser periodista de vinos en Sudamérica, y que es un privilegio poder publicar una guía que intente retratar todos esos cambios, toda esa energía. Pero, sobre todo, hoy es un gran momento para ser consumidor de vinos. Nunca antes había sido tan entretenido beber vinos hechos por estos lados, así es que vayan y descorchen. La aventura comienza.

Book American Rhone

  • Author : Patrick J. Comiskey
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2016-10-11
  • ISBN : 0520965140
  • Pages : 351 pages

Download or read book American Rhone written by Patrick J. Comiskey and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thoughtfully conceived and very well written, this is essential somm reading."—The Somm Journal "This is the most important wine book of the year, perhaps in many years."—The Seattle Times "Crisply written, impeccably researched, balanced if fundamentally enthusiastic, scholarly but accessible, and full of unexpected details and characters."—The World of Fine Wine No wine category has seen more dramatic growth in recent years than American Rhône–variety wines. Winemakers are devoting more energy, more acreage, and more bottlings to Rhône varieties than ever before. The flagship Rhône red, Syrah, is routinely touted as one of California’s most promising varieties, capable of tremendous adaptability as a vine, wonderfully variable in style, and highly expressive of place. There has never been a better time for American Rhône wine producers. American Rhône is the untold history of the American Rhône wine movement. The popularity of these wines has been hard fought; this is a story of fringe players, unknown varieties, and longshot efforts finding their way to the mainstream. It’s the story of winemakers gathering sufficient strength in numbers to forge a triumph of the obscure and the brash. But, more than this, it is the story of the maturation of the American palate and a new republic of wine lovers whose restless tastes and curiosity led them to Rhône wines just as those wines were reaching a critical mass in the marketplace. Patrick J. Comiskey’s history of the American Rhône wine movement is both a compelling underdog success story and an essential reference for the wine professional.
