About Journal
The Journal of
Productivity Analysis publishes theoretical and applied research
that addresses issues involving the measurement, explanation, and improvement
of productivity. The broad scope of the journal encompasses
productivity-related developments spanning the disciplines of economics, the
management sciences, operations research, and business and public
administration. Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to,
productivity theory, organizational design, index number theory, and related
foundations of productivity analysis. The journal also publishes research on
computational methods that are employed in productivity analysis, including
econometric and mathematical programming techniques, and empirical research
based on data at all levels of aggregation, ranging from aggregate
macroeconomic data to disaggregate microeconomic data. The empirical research
illustrates the application of theory and techniques to the measurement of
productivity, and develops implications for the design of managerial strategies
and public policy to enhance productivity.
