Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Price of Inefficiency "The true measure of a man's success is the service which he renders, not the pay he exacts for it. The true measure of a man's ability is the power to help others and to contribute to their advancement. The effort to make money is an important incentive to social service and industrial progress; but the amount of wealth each man acquires is no accurate indication of the service he has rendered or the progress he has made possible."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Working Conditions, Wages and Profits NO management question is more intimate than how far the employer ought to go in providing for the physical, social, and intellectual well-being of employees; no question of any sort is the source of more con icts between employers and employees than wages; and the measurement of the efficiency of labor in cost terms is the final test that the managers of a company can apply to a labor policy. These three angles of the labor problem are presented in the two companion volumes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Efficiently Inefficient written by Lasse Heje Pedersen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficiently Inefficient describes the key trading strategies used by hedge funds and demystifies the secret world of active investing. Leading financial economist Lasse Heje Pedersen combines the latest research with real-world examples and interviews with top hedge fund managers to show how certain trading strategies make money--and why they sometimes don't. Pedersen views markets as neither perfectly efficient nor completely inefficient. Rather, they are inefficient enough that money managers can be compensated for their costs through the profits of their trading strategies and efficient enough that the profits after costs do not encourage additional active investing. Understanding how to trade in this efficiently inefficient market provides a new, engaging way to learn finance. Pedersen analyzes how the market price of stocks and bonds can differ from the model price, leading to new perspectives on the relationship between trading results and finance theory. He explores several different areas in depth--fundamental tools for investment management, equity strategies, macro strategies, and arbitrage strategies--and he looks at such diverse topics as portfolio choice, risk management, equity valuation, and yield curve logic. The book's strategies are illuminated further by interviews with leading hedge fund managers: Lee Ainslie, Cliff Asness, Jim Chanos, Ken Griffin, David Harding, John Paulson, Myron Scholes, and George Soros.

Download or read book Equality and Efficiency REV written by Arthur M. Okun and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1975, Equality and Efficiency: The Big Tradeoff is a very personal work from one of the most important macroeconomists of the last hundred years. And this new edition includes "Further Thoughts on Equality and Efficiency," a paper published by the author two years later. In classrooms Arthur M. Okun may be best remembered for Okun's Law, but his lasting legacy is the respect and admiration he earned from economists, practitioners, and policymakers. Equality and Efficiency is the perfect embodiment of that legacy, valued both by professional economists and those readers with a keen interest in social policy. To his fellow economists, Okun presents messages, in the form of additional comments and select citations, in his footnotes. To all readers, Okun presents an engaging dual theme: the market needs a place, and the market needs to be kept in its place. As Okun puts it: Institutions in a capitalist democracy prod us to get ahead of our neighbors economically after telling us to stay in line socially. This double standard professes and pursues an egalitarian political and social system while simultaneously generating gaping disparities in economic well-being. Today, Okun's dual theme feels incredibly prescient as we grapple with the hot-button topic of income inequality. In his foreword, Lawrence H. Summers declares: On what one might think of as questions of "economic philosophy," I doubt that Okun has been improved on in the subsequent interval. His discussion of how societies rely on rights as well as markets should be required reading for all young economists who are enamored with market solutions to all problems. With a new foreword by Lawrence H. Summers

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fatigue and Efficiency: A Study in Industry As I turn from my laboratory to consider in what words I may fittingly introduce Miss Goldmark's admirable book, two thoughts that have often been with me come to me again. The first is, that among the many conditions of human life which may be classed as causes of misery, there is none more potent than the failure of men to live in accordance with physiological laws. Many men fail so to live because of ignorance; many for the reason that even though knowledge be present, desire is defeated by the fact that within their chosen sphere of labor they are not free agents. If this cause of misery is to be removed, there is needed first of all a knowledge of what is physiological. Like other men of science, the physiologist is too often content to spend his time in seeking, to which is added the occasional greater pleasure of finding. He tells his discoveries to his colleagues in the language common to both, but too often he does not interpret them to the people; and thus he lets the world at large remain in its ignorance and misery. Even more rarely does he venture to instruct those who shape the conditions under which multitudes of the people live. But he gladly welcomes the services of those individuals who understand physiological laws and their bearing upon human life, and are capable of bringing this knowledge convincingly home to those who are most in need of it. The second thought that comes back to me is this: Industrialism has been quick to accept the achievements of science in inanimate things, but slow to recognize the teachings of physiology with regard to the man himself. Methods and machines have been revolutionized, but the human element has not yet been eliminated. The man or woman or child is still essential to the method and the machine, and while the inanimate agent demands more and more of him, his fundamental physiological powers are probably not so very different from what they were when he built the pyramids and made papyrus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Construction Plant: Its Cost and Efficiency It has been a considerable time since my office commenced to gather the data that have been collated for this book, and during all of that period the manuscript sheets, and later the page proofs bound up for convenient handling, have been in almost daily use. Consequently many of the items have been used and verified; so that I have rather more confidence in the usefulness as well as the general accuracy of the material than if it had not passed through a fairly thorough period of seasoning. This time of seasoning has its disadvantages, however, as well as its benefits. Changing conditions in certain industries have affected prices, and a number of items have been radically revised in the making. It is to be expected, moreover, that the same-thing will continue; and as I have said in the introduction, page 3, these figures should be checked by actual bids where a plant is to be appraised, etc. In order to facilitate this, lists of the principal manufacturers of the plant described are given.

Download or read book Experiences in Efficiency Classic Reprint written by Benj a Franklin and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiences in Efficiency Mr. Franklin's book is offered in answer to a many-voiced inquiry for specific examples of efficiency methods. It shows the employer or manager, struggling with problems of increasing cost of operation and diminishing returns, how other men discovered and used a road to success out of similar difficulties. It is a concise record of "leading cases." The material is selected from the author's wide and successful experience and represents a diversity of situations in a variety of industries. In each case the story is reduced to its simplest elements, but it still shows clearly the character of the problem attacked and the nature of the solution found. It tells what was done, why it was done, and how it was done. Most of the chapters appeared originally in The Engineering Magazine. As here reprinted they are revised, adapted, and marshalled in sequence so as to constitute a logical and progressive survey of practice, following the order in which it demands the manager's attention. It begins with the thing which is generally uppermost in a manufacturer's mind - the handling of labor. Four chapters are given to methods of increasing both output and quality of direct production; the fifth extends the same principles to the treatment of clerical, or "non-productive," labor; the sixth enlarges the same applied ideas so as to include the entire force.

Download or read book Measurement of Relative Efficiency of Health Service Organizations With Data Envelopment Analysis written by H. David Sherman and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Measurement of Relative Efficiency of Health Service Organizations With Data Envelopment Analysis: A Simulation Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a new methodology based on linear programming concepts, provides an approach to evaluate the relative technical efficiency of nonprofit organizations which have multiple inputs and outputs. This approach potentially will identify inefficient units and the magnitude of the inefficiency to provide a basis to select inefficient units for management review or efficiency audits and to help locate areas where operations might be improved. This is believed to be an improvement over existing approaches to evaluate efficiency of such organizations and is directed toward health service organizations in this study because of the potential value of such an approach in this sector. This paper investigates an application of DEA to an artificial data set reflecting the operations of a hospital department. The underlying technology is specified from which a set of efficient and inefficient hospital units are developed. Without knowledge of this technology, DEA accurately identifies the inefficient units when the inputs and outputs are properly specified. In contrast, the widely used single-output measures applied to this data set are found to be less reliable in this multiple output environment. The strengths and limitations of DEA are further elaborated to anticipate issues that may arise in subsequent field applications of DEA to hospitals.
