Submission status
Closed
The Journal of Productivity Analysis is excited to announce a forthcoming Special Issue on Inequality, Discrimination, and their Consequences on Productivity and Efficiency. Two Plenary sessions at the June 7-11, 2021 (virtual) 12th North American Productivity Workshop (NAPW), organized by Christopher Parmeter, hosted by the Miami Herbert Business School at the University of Miami, and supported by the International Society for Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (ISEaPA) focused on issues that spanned topics from Productivity Growth, Economic Well-being, and the Inefficiency of Discrimination and Inequality, to Productivity Inequality, Poverty and Living Standards in the U.S. Over Time, Health and Human Capital, The Quantity/Quality Tradeoff and Productivity Measurement, and Gender Discrimination and Promotion in Science. Many other presentations in parallel sessions also focused on the linkages among inequality, discrimination, and productivity and efficiency. We anticipate that the range of topics in this special issue will be wide and that the coverage will be deep. We are looking for aggregate, industry, and firm-level analyses as well as methods and modeling approaches that represent a wide array of perspectives and insights from economics, operations research, and statistics.
