this very narrow approach to increasing productivity would suggest. Genetic erosion is happening at a more rapid pace in … developing countries because of the somewhat faulty planning to bring about change and increase productivity. Above all …, agrobiodiversity, which is genetic diversity related to agriculture, is threatened not because of overuse but because it is not used …

This paper explores the definitions and properties of total factor productivity growth (TFPG) indexes, focusing … measures, and price and quantity indexes are explored. Decompositions of the productivity growth indexes are also given. The …

In this article we have adapted productivity analysis to the case of a cost model using a quadratic cost function and … discrete data. The main theoretical result is a productivity index that can be decomposed into modified versions of the … order to increase productivity. For this, a normalized quadratic cost function was estimated. The results show important …
