Charles R. Hulten, Edwin Dean, Michael J. Harper, Conference on Research in Income and Wealth
New Developments in Productivity Analysis (Studies in Income and Wealth, Vol 63)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The productivity slowdown of the 1970s and 1980s and the resumption of productivity growth in the 1990s have provoked controversy among policymakers and researchers. Economists have been forced to reexamine fundamental questions of measurement technique. Some researchers argue that econometric approaches to productivity measurement usefully address shortcomings of the dominant index number techniques while others maintain that current productivity statistics underreport damage to the environment. Inthis book, the contributors propose innovative approaches to these issues. The result is a state-of-the-art exposition of contemporary productivity analysis. Charles R. Hulten is professor of economics at the University of Maryland. He has been a senior research associate at the Urban Institute and is chair of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Michael Harper is chief of the Division of Productivity Research at the Bureau… [detailed...]

New Diningroom Design

2005 y.
Publisher: daab
Description: While a spatial division between kitchen, living room and dining room was originally implemented, today an eating area is often integrated into the living area. Interior areas designed in this way are open and create large spaces, which promote social interaction. Decisive here is the shape and size of the table, as well as the choice of lighting. If there is a smaller space available, a simple and unadorned round table combined with a round lamp suggests itself. If the table is very long, optimal lighting can be achieved by several lamps installed in a line above. To create an especially bright illuminated interior space, it is best to use materials like glass or PVC. Предисловие книги на английском, немецком, французском, испанском и итальянском языках.

New Directions : Efficiency and Productivity (Studies in Productivity and Efficiency)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The key unifying conceptual tool of this important entry in the study of efficiency and productivity is the directional distance function. In New Directions the authors take up this new performance measure while also maintaining their `traditional` axiomatic production theoretic approach. The directional distance function includes traditional distance functions and efficiency measures as special cases providing a unifying framework for existing productivity andefficiency measures. As a generalisation of the traditional distance functions, it turns out to be a dual to the profit function, opening a range of new tools for empirical and theoretical research. It also provides enough additional flexibility to open up new areas in productivity and efficiency analysis such as environmental and aggregation issues. [detailed...]

Description: Coaching seeks to optimise personal functioning and well-being by developing the best in people. Its widespread appeal has seen it grow rapidly over the past 20 years. Unfortunately, coaching practice has run well ahead of related theory and research, leaving the coaching industry without solid foundations and little support for the claims often made about its effectiveness. This book outlines a diverse body of work designed to further the development of evidence-based coaching. It commences by discussing important issues related to the professionalisation of the industry, before moving on to compare the impact of individual and peer-based coaching programmes. The second half of the book examines the role that awareness and attention play in self-regulation and tests the efficacy of a coaching framework that integrates mindfulness training and cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused coaching. The research presented in this book should interest both coaching practitioners and… [detailed...]
