Chapter 1. Estimating Efficiency in the Presence of Extreme Outliers: A Logistic-Half Normal Stochastic Frontier Model with Application to Highway Maintenance Costs in England -- Chapter 2. Alternative User Costs, Productivity and Inequality in US Business Sectors -- Chapter 3. On the Allocation of Productivity Growth and the Determinants of US Income Inequality -- Chapter 4. Frontier Estimation of a Cost Function System Model with Local Least Squares: An Application to Dutch Secondary Education -- Chapter 5. Aggregate Productivity and Productivity of the Aggregate: Connecting the Bottom-Up and Top-Down Approaches -- Chapter 6. Confidence Sets for Inequality Measures: Fieller-type Methods -- Chapter 7. Poverty-Dominant Marginal Transfer Reforms in Socially Risky Situations -- Chapter 8. Exploring the Covariance Term in the Olley-Pakes Productivity Decomposition -- Chapter 9. The Decline of Manufacturing in Canada: Resource Curse, Productivity Malaise or Natural Evolution? -- Chapter 10. Flexible Functional Forms and Curvature Conditions: Parametric Productivity Estimation in Canadian and US Manufacturing Industries -- Chapter 11. Productivity Growth, Poverty Reduction and Income inequality: New Empirical Evidence -- Chapter 12. Contribution of Productivity and Price Change to Farm-level Profitability: A Dual Approach Analysis of Crop Production in Norway -- Chapter 13. Estimation of Health Care Demand and its Implication on Income Effects of Individuals -- Chapter 14. Quantile DEA: Estimating qDEA-alpha Efficiency Estimates with Conventional Linear Programming.

The volume highlights the state-of-the-art knowledge (including data analysis) of productivity, inequality and efficiency analysis. 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.
