Labour Productivity Superstatistics

We discuss superstatistics theory of labour productivity. Productivity distribution across workers, firms and industrial sectors are studied empirically and found to obey powerdistributions, in sharp contrast to the equilibrium theories of mainstream economics. The Pareto index is found to decrease with the level of aggregation, i.e., from workers to firms and to industrial sectors. In order to...

Labour Turnover and Labour Productivity in a Retail Organization

Labour Turnover and Labour Productivity in a Retail Organization We study the impact of labour turnover on labour productivity using a panel dataset of 347 shops belonging to a large UK clothing retailer over1995-1999. For the within-shop link – holding constant the shop’s permanent characteristics – we observe an inverted U-shape effect of labour turnover on productivity. The productivity-maxi...

Scheduling Projects with Labour Constraints

In this paper we consider a labour constrained scheduling problem (LCSP) which is a simpliication of a practical problem arising in industry. Jobs are subject to precedence constraints and have speciied processing times. Moreover, for each job the labour requirement varies as the job is processed. Given the amount of labour available in each period, the problem is to nish all the jobs as soon a...

Import Competition and Labour Productivity*

Import competition is found to interact with domestic competition; such the positive impact of import competition on the level and rate of growth of labour productivity rises with the degree of concentration among domestic producers. T...
