He is excellent on the tactics and spirit of medieval warfare.' Frederic Raphael,Sunday Times

Productivity: Concepts, Measurement, Aggregation, and Decomposition (Contributions to Economics) English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030754472 | 345 Pages | PDF EPUB | 18 MB This book develops the theory of productivity measurement using the empirical index number approach. The theory uses multiplicative indices and additive indicators as measurement tools, instead of relying on the usual neo-classical assumptions, such as the existence of a production function characterized by constant returns to scale, optimizing behavior of the economic agents, and perfect foresight. The theory can be applied to all the common levels of aggregation (micro, meso, and macro), and half of the book is devoted to accounting for the links existing between the various levels. Basic insights from National Accounts are thereby used. The final chapter is devoted to the decomposition of productivity change into the contributions of efficiency change, technological change, scale effects, and input or output mix effects. Applications on real-life data demonstrate the empirical feasibility of the theory.
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367686058 | 380 pages | True PDF | 6.17 MB Beneficial microbes called probiotics exist naturally inour bodiesand play a vital role in our health. Probiotics have been knownto produce important microbiota of antimicrobial compounds thatenhance our immunity to counter the harmful effects of pathogenic organisms. These microbes are also used in the treatment of diseases and in negating the side effects of chemically synthesized medicines. The study of probiotic organisms and their wide applications in industrial products for human and animal uses has thus gained momentum. This book provides a comprehensivereview on the research and applications of probiotics. It servesas a reference and resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, companies, and policy makers who are active in fields related to functional food and feed, industrial biotechnology, nutraceuticals, and medicine. All chapters in this book have been written and edited by leading experts in the respective fields from academia, industry, or government. |
