Workforce productivity

Workforce productivity is the amount of goods and services that a group of workers produce in a given amount of time. It is one of several types of productivity that economists measure. Workforce productivity, often referred to as labor productivity, is a measure for an organisation or company, a process, an industry, or a country.

Productivité globale des facteurs

La productivité globale des facteurs (ou productivité totale des facteurs) désigne la part de la croissance économique qui n'est pas expliquée par l'accroissement des facteurs de production que sont le facteur capital et le facteur travail. Si le calcul de la croissance économique montre qu'elle a été supérieure à l'accroissement du travail et du capital, cela signifie que le travail et le capital ont été utilisés de manière plus efficaces (plus productives) : ce résidu est appelé .

Fuel efficiency

Fuel efficiency is a form of thermal efficiency, meaning the ratio of effort to result of a process that converts chemical potential energy contained in a carrier (fuel) into kinetic energy or work. Overall fuel efficiency may vary per device, which in turn may vary per application, and this spectrum of variance is often illustrated as a continuous . Non-transportation applications, such as industry, benefit from increased fuel efficiency, especially fossil fuel power plants or industries dealing with combustion, such as ammonia production during the Haber process.

Productivity-improving technologies

The productivity-improving technologies are the technological innovations that have historically increased productivity. Productivity is often measured as the ratio of (aggregate) output to (aggregate) input in the production of goods and services. Productivity is increased by lowering the amount of labor, capital, energy or materials that go into producing any given amount of economic goods and services. Increases in productivity are largely responsible for the increase in per capita living standards.
