...isotopes). Additionally, innovative medical technologies have been seen to raise overall healthcare system productivity ( Black & Lynch, 2001 ). Compared to the whole economy, measurement of productivity growth in the healthcare industry has arguably been underestimated. Economic studies attribute this low productivity growth to limitations in the conceptual framework and estimation methods used. Some have successfully argued that most of the productivity growth in healthcare has come in the form of improved quality rather than lower cost ( Bartel, Ichnowski, &...

... The output of an economic activity, in terms of the economic inputs. There is a central link between knowledge capital and productivity, while investing in highly dense regions increases congestion, thereby reducing productivity.

productivity ((in ecology)) Quick reference
A Dictionary of Biology (8 ed.)
...productivity ( production ) (in ecology) The rate at which an organism, population, or community assimilates energy ( gross productivity ) or makes energy potentially available (as body tissue) to an animal that feeds on it ( net productivity ). The difference between these two rates is due to the rate at which energy is lost through excretion and respiration. Thus gross primary productivity is the rate at which plants (or other autotrophs ) assimilate energy, and net primary productivity is the rate at which energy is incorporated as cells or tissue....

In professional sport, individual players can be minutely analysed in relation to their performance, by means of...

The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Business, Labor, and Economic History
... For any economic system, including that of the United States, productivity is the key to economic performance.

The term “productivity” actually encompasses two separate but related concepts. “Total factor productivity” refers to the relationship between all inputs and output, while “partial factor productivity” refers to the relationship between a single factor input and total output. The relative...
