Pilot application of the energy efficiency and energy savings accounting system in Russia and energy consumption growth decomposition analysis have shown that: 1) its creation is possible even based on non-comprehensive statistical base; 2) its application provides non-trivial results and shows...

Aim of this paper is to build a method of performance evaluation for research organization, using a systemic approach that considers the interrelations among activities (administrative, scientific, technologic). The method is based on the research laboratories evaluation (relev) function which...

L'objet de ce papier n'est pas tant de présenter les principaux algorithmes utilisés en modélisation économique - nombre de manuels font des présentations de meilleure qualité et plus exhaustives - que d'en proposer une vision critique. Les modèles économiques, et plus particulièrement...

Although it is not possible, in general, to give a macro description of a micro model over the entire state space of the micro model, it is possible to aggregate exactly over a subspace. The set of micro states where aggregation is possible forms the aggregation set. The paper considers the...

This paper answers the puzzling questions that why under the similar set of economic conditions service sector in India grew while manufacturing could not and how economic reforms in 1990s accelerated the productivity growth. The paper provides a very innovative and convincing explanation. Two...

Studies on Indian manufacturing have been unable to provide consistent estimates of productivity and its growth rates. This paper performs detailed and exhaustive set of accounting exercises for the period 1970-2003 using production function, index number and envelopment analysis methods. TFP...

Article on the use of systems analysis indexes that are based on the basic relations of the theory of self-organization. The author substantiates the thesis of the universal nature of laws, reflecting the effectiveness of competitive adaptation of economic systems in the environment.

Lawrence R. Klein pioneered the work on aggregation, in particular in production functions, in the 1940s. He paved the way for researchers to establish the conditions under which a series of micro production functions can be aggregated so as to yield an aggregate production function. This work...

Econometrics demands that economists be familiar both with mathematical statistics and with different branches of higher mathematics. Economists – Lombardini argues in his essay – believe this scientific discipline has some utility, insofar as it paves the way to new perspectives and new...

The paper criticizes the translation of the so called GEKS (Gini - Eltetö - Köves - Szulc) method to make consistent (transitive, or "drift free") international comparisons of price indices (parities), into the intertemporal framework. It shows that transitivity appears to be "over-ambitious"...
