| | Productivity (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unlike labor productivity, the calculation of both capital productivity and total factor productivity is dependent on a number of doubtful assumptions and is subject to the Cambridge critique. | | | Even measures of land and labor productivity should be used only when conscious of the role of the heterogeneity of these inputs to the production process. | | | All else constant, it benefits a business to improve productivity, which over time lowers cost and (hopefully) improves ability to compete and make profit. |

| | Productivity: a key concept in Economics |
| | If production costs do not overshoot that productivity increase, unit cost of production will be lower, opening the possibility of price fall or stability. | | | In a broader perspective, an increase of productivity is due to a squeeze in waste of resources, to narrower limits of irrational processes of production and governance, to an effective link between market and social needs. | | | Economic productivity usually shows a pro-cyclical behaviour, while at the same time it is necessary to distinguish smaller sub-phases and wider multiplicity of paths than in the case of other variables. |

| | Productivity, by Sylvia Nasar: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | From 1959 to 1973, productivity grew by 2.8 percent a year while capital per worker in the private sector grew by 2.4 percent a year. | | | On the other hand, economists generally agree that most of the slowdown in productivity growth reflected factors other than investment, namely, a slowdown in total factor productivity. | | | After all, British productivity from 1880 to 1990 grew just 1 percentage point more slowly than that of its trading partners—hardly a huge shortfall, but enough to transform the once proud empire into a second-rate economy in little more than a lifetime. |

| | The Neoclassical Theory of Distribution |
| | So, in sum, the marginal productivity theorem of distribution says that if all factors are paid their marginal products, then the sum of factor incomes will add up to total product. | | | As such, loose critics have gone on to "prove" that the marginal productivity theory is contradictory because it claims that factor prices are determined by marginal products and yet the theory of production tells us quite the opposite, namely that the amount of factors employed (and thus their marginal products) depend on factor prices. | | | The curves AP and MP are the "economically-relevant" portions of the average product and marginal product of labor curves (i.e. |

| | If they had productivity four times as high, they basically could make money even though they paid taxes and their competitors didn't because the taxes themselves were so low. | | | And so the story in retailing is how many of these high productivity formats are part of the mix of stores in retailing and how much of retailing is still like it was in 1950. | | | Productivity of a country in total -- the average productivity -- is the average productivity of every single worker. |

| | Productivity growth in the nonfarm business sector has averaged 2.9% annually since 1995, compared to roughly 1.6% over the previous ten years. | | | If productivity and output has gone up so much more than expected in the U.S., we'd expect the U.S. to be more competitive on global markets, not less. | | | Obviously—apply the business knowhow which made Wal-mart such a powerful and productive competitor in the U.S. This business know-how, altough intangible, is very real and very potent. |

| | EconLog, European Productivity, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | The ability of these countries to surpass U.S. productivity in 2002 suggests that their comprehensive welfare and collective-bargaining systems have not stymied income growth or improvements in economic efficiency relative to the more free-market-oriented U.S. Actually, it suggests no such thing. | | | Of course, from the employee's POV, the most important issue between economic depressions is getting the seemingly recalcitrant employer to, "Show me the money." when he is far more productive than "the coin", and the executives are raking in huge cash and option while seeming to fail to "materialize the coin", themselves. | | | In economics according to Jerry Maguire & Rod Tidwell, this is known as the need for the marginal employee to "materialize the coin". |

| | Steady-State Economics, by Herman Daly |
| | As the flow of resource throughput is increased with a given fund of labor and capital, the productivity of the resource flow must, by the law of diminishing returns, decrease. | | | Since the incomes of capital and labor are tied to their respective productivities, it becomes necessary to increase these productivities. | | | The annual production flow is the cost of maintaining the stock, and though necessary, should be minimized for any given stock level. |
