Profitability, Mechanization and Economies of Scale (Routledge Revivals)

Routledge

This work presents two major innovations. First, it introduces a theory of profitability to assess the impact of mechanization, economies of scales, and the combination of mechanization with economies of scales. Secondly, it uses plant level data and case studies to illustrate the theory, its combination and assessment applied to the working and management of plants.

The New National Accounts: An Introduction to the System of National Accounts 1993 and the European System of Accounts 1995

Edward Elgar Publishing

This accessible book provides a rigorous explanation of the concepts and theory of technological change and learning in production. Dudley Jackson offers a thorough integration of theory and data to show how technological change and learning increase profitability. The impact of technological change and learning on the rate of profit are comprehensively explained with extensive use of 'real world' plant and industry-level statistics. Data on the manufacturing industry in the United States is used to explain and exemplify neutral technological change, or increased multifactor productivity. Non-neutral capital-using/labor-saving technological change is then examined using data on the switch from steam to diesel locomotives in the railroad industry. The impact of technological change on unit cost and quality is examined in two case studies: automation in the pulp plant of a paper mill; and the refining of petroleum to produce gasoline of a higher octane rating. The theoretical background to, and derivation and use of, the learning curve is explained using data on the building of Liberty ships in individual shipyards during the Second World War. Finally the time constant progress function is introduced to show how learning increases profitability. This book will be of immense interest to students of microeconomics, strategic and production management, industrial organization and the economics of innovation and technology.
