TL;DR: In this article, the development of Type a number of countries on indicators of the dynamics of one of the most important indicators of innovation capacity internal expenditures on research and development per capita.
Abstract: The article is devoted to the development of Type a number of countries on indicators of the dynamics of one of the most important indicators of innovation capacity internal expenditures on research and development per capita. It is shown that the parameters of the dynamics of this specific target Russia, together with Hungary and the Czech Republic form a single cluster, but inferior to them on the level and growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the practice of adopting the Cobb-Douglas technology, particularly prevalent in contemporary growth theory, may lead to misleading implications, and they show that key implications of the models are highly sensitive to small deviations of the elasticity of substitution from unity.

TL;DR: This analysis sharpens questions about the co-evolution of human life history and cultural adaptation by inferring individual hunters’ of hunting skill gain and loss from approximately 23,000 hunting records generated by more than 1,800 individuals at 40 locations.
Abstract: Human adaptation depends upon the integration of slow life history, complex production skills, and extensive sociality Refining and testing models of the evolution of human life history and cultural learning will benefit from increasingly accurate measurement of knowledge, skills, and rates of production with age We pursue this goal by inferring individual hunters’ of hunting skill gain and loss from approximately 23,000 hunting records generated by more than 1,800 individuals at 40 locations The model provides an improved picture of ages of peak productivity as well as variation within and among ages The data reveal an average age of peak productivity between 30 and 35 years of age, though high skill is maintained throughout much of adulthood In addition, there is substantial variation both among individuals and sites Within study sites, variation among individuals depends more upon heterogeneity in rates of decline than in rates of increase This analysis sharpens questions about the co-evolution of human life history and cultural adaptation It also demonstrates new statistical algorithms and models that expand the potential inferences drawn from detailed quantitative data collected in the field

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to improve the performance of the system by using the information of the user's interaction with the system and the system itself, including the interaction between the two parties.
Abstract: В статье производится анализ агрегированной производственной функции, вводится аппарат, позволяющий различать движение вдоль такой функции от ее сдвигов. На основании сделанных в статье предположений делаются выводы о характере технического прогресса и технологических изменений. Существенное внимание уделяется вариантам применения концепции агрегированной производственной функции.

01 Jan 1956TL;DR: In this paper, a very brief treatment of three questions relating to the history of our economic growth since the Civil War is given, namely: (1) How large has been the net increase of aggregate output per capita, and to what extent has this increase been obtained as a result of greater labor or capital input on the one hand and of a rise in productivity on the other? (2) Is there evidence of retardation, or conceivably acceleration, in the growth of per capita output? (3) Have there been fluctuations in the rate of growth of output, apart
Abstract: Introduction This paper is a very brief treatment of three questions relating to the history of our economic growth since the Civil War: (1) How large has been the net increase of aggregate output per capita, and to what extent has this increase been obtained as a result of greater labor or capital input on the one hand and of a rise in productivity on the other? (2) Is there evidence of retardation, or conceivably acceleration, in the growth of per capita output? (3) Have there been fluctuations in the rate of growth of output, apart from the shortterm fluctuations of business cycles, and, if so, what is the significance of these swings? The answers to these three questions, to the extent that they can be given, represent, of course, only a tiny fraction of the historical experience relevant to the problems of growth. Even so, anyone acquainted with their complexity will realize that no one of them, much less all three, can be treated satisfactorily in a short space. I shall have to pronounce upon them somewhat arbitrarily. My ability to deal with them at all is a reflection of one of the more important, though one of the less obvious, of the many aspects of our growing wealth, namely, the accumulation of historical statistics in this country during the last generation. For the most part, the figures which I present or which underlie my qualitative statements are taken directly from tables of estimates of national product, labor force, productivity, and the like compiled by others.
