Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains four papers presented at a 1982 conference sponsored by the National Council on Employment Policy. It begins with a brief policy statement warning that labor force and productivity data systems face deterioration because of budget cuts that have forced a decline in the quality and quantity of the published information and curtailment of needed research. Each of the papers, presented by a leading economic or statistical analyst, examines one part of the system. The first, by Leon Taub, explores the extent to which the Current Population Survey can aid in answering key policy questions relating to macroeconomic, labor market, and welfare issues. In the second presentation, by Robert Taggart, new measures of labor market-related economic hardships are proposed to supplement existing labor force and poverty statistics. The third paper, by Elliot Grossman and George Sadler, cautions that conventional productivity measures concentrating on labor are overstating productivity growth. To properly capture the substitution of capital for labor and labor for capital, the need for up-to-date measures of total factor productivity is emphasized. The fourth paper, by Orley Ashenfelter and Gary Solon, emphasizes that longitudinal data collection should not be halted, since such data provide insights unobtainable from cross-sectional data. A conference summary, by Sar A. Levitan, based on selective hearing is also provided. (YLB)

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a set of papers from the leading edge of current research on productivity analysis. The focus is on alternative forms of measurement, methods, and their implications. The book begins with a chapter by V. Corbo and J. de Melo comparing the effects of using different production frontier models for measuring technical efficiency when using census data. The second chapter (by H. Pesaran and R. Tarling) is a detailed analysi·s of measurement of labor and its variations over time. The next two chapters concern the measurement of capital. The first of these is written by M. F. Mohr; the second is by B. M. Fraumeni and D. W. Jorgenson. The final chapter is by I. B. Kravis, A. W. Heston, and R. Summers and concerns the behavior of productivity and service prices. Decisions for improving productivity rely upon explicit as well as implicit assumptions on how productivity is related to a variety of factors. Determining the right relationships hinges on how these factors are measured and how the models are set. This is why better understanding of measurement issues and behavior of variables related to productivity can lead more effective policies. We plan to continue in this series to present the current research of major different schools of thought in the field.
