It showcases a selection of the best papers from the 9th North American Productivity Workshop. These papers are relevant to academia, but also to public and private sectors in terms of the challenges that firms, financial institutions, governments, and individuals may face when dealing with economic and education related activities that lead to increase or decrease of productivity. The volume also aims to bring together ideas from different parts of the world about the challenges those local economies and institutions may face when changes in productivity are observed. These contributions focus on theoretical and empirical research in areas including productivity, production theory and efficiency measurement in economics, management science, operation research, public administration, and education. The North American Productivity Workshop(NAPW) brings together academic scholars and practitioners in the field of productivity and efficiency analysis from all over the world, and this proceedings volume is a reflection of this mission. The papers in this volume also address general topics as education, health, energy, finance, agriculture, transport, utilities, and economic development, among others. The editors are comprised of the 2016 local organizers, program committee members, and celebrated guest conference speakers. 410 0$aSpringer Proceedings in Business and Economics,$x2198-7254 606 $aOperations research 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aPublic Administration 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 14$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aEconometrics. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 676 $a331.118 702 $aGreene$b William H$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKhalaf$b Lynda$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMakdissi$b Paul$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSickles$b Robin C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVeall$b Michael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVoia$b Marcel-Cristian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298189903321 996 $aProductivity and Inequality$92528587 997 $aUNINA
