Sommario/riassunto

This book reflects the various dimensions of play. It gathers together experience with role-play, tabletop, and online games and develops and assesses tools. It also reflects the human condition in this world of games as it becomes a digital world. We are living in a World of Games where every game is a world through which we learn about the world. A World of Games is fun and engaging, but it also provides deceptive pleasures. What may seem like fun is far from harmless. And then there are the many ways of learning in the mode of play. .

Sommario/riassunto

The productivity slowdown of the 1970's and 1980's and the resumption of productivity growth in the 1990's have provoked controversy among policymakers and researchers. Economists have been forced to reexamine fundamental questions of measurement technique. Some researchers argue that econometric approaches to productivity measurement usefully address shortcomings of the dominant index number techniques while others maintain that current productivity statistics underreport damage to the environment. In this book, the contributors propose innovative approaches to these issues. The result is a state-of-the-art exposition of contemporary productivity analysis. Charles R. Hulten is professor of economics at the University of Maryland. He has been a senior research associate at the Urban Institute and is chair of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Michael Harper is chief of the Division of Productivity Research at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Edwin R. Dean, formerly associate commissioner for Productivity and Technology at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is adjunct professor of economics at The George Washington University.
