The volume highlights the state-of-the-art knowledge (including data
analysis) of productivity, inequality and efficiency analysis. It
showcases a selection of the best papers from the 9th North American
Productivity Workshop. These papers are relevant to academia, but also
to public and private sectors in terms of the challenges that firms,
financial institutions, governments, and individuals may face when
dealing with economic and education related activities that lead to
increase or decrease of productivity. The volume also aims to bring
together ideas from different parts of the world about the challenges
those local economies and institutions may face when changes in
productivity are observed. These contributions focus on theoretical
and empirical research in areas including productivity, production
theory and efficiency measurement in economics, management science,
operation research, public administration, and education. The North
American Productivity Workshop (NAPW) brings together academic
scholars and practitioners in the field of productivity and efficiency
analysis from all over the world, and this proceedings volume is a
reflection of this mission. The papers in this volume also address
general topics as education, health, energy, finance, agriculture,
transport, utilities, and economic development, among others. The
editors are comprised of the 2016 local organizers, program committee
members, and celebrated guest conference speakers.
