Assessment of plant growth promoting bacteria strains on growth, yield and quality of sweet corn
(2022)The use of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) is increasingly gaining acceptance from all the stakeholders of the agricultural production. Different strains of PGPB species had been found to have a vast variety of ... -
An assessment of snail-farm systems based on land use and farm components
(2021)In this study, the structural and management characteristics of snail farms in Greece were analyzed to maximize sustainable food production. Objectives, such as the classification of farming systems and assessing the effects ... -
Current and projected regional economic impacts of heatwaves in Europe
(2021)Extreme heat undermines the working capacity of individuals, resulting in lower productivity, and thus economic output. Here we analyse the present and future economic damages due to reduced labour productivity caused by ... -
Eco-efficiency estimation with quantile stochastic frontiers: Evidence from the United States
(2022)This paper based on quantile stochastic frontier framework constructs quantile eco-efficiency measures. Using the estimates from the quantile stochastic frontier, the eco-performance of the U.S. states for nitrogen oxides ... -

Heat waves occurrence and outdoor workers’ self-assessment of heat stress in slovenia and greece
(2019)Changing patterns of heat waves are part of the global warming effect and the importance of changes is reinforced by their negative impact on society. Firstly, heat waves were analyzed in Brnik (Slovenia) and Larisa (Greece) ... -
Hotel productivity: A robust Luenberger productivity indicator
(2019)The article presents a robust version of the Luenberger productivity indicator. The proposed productivity indicator is less sensitive to potential outliers and extreme values. We apply the robust productivity index on a ... -
The impact of economic growth on environmental efficiency of the electricity sector: A hybrid window DEA methodology for the USA
(2018)This paper estimates the efficiency of the power generation sector in the USA by using Window Data Envelopment Analysis (W-DEA). We integrate radial and non-radial efficiency measurements in DEA using the hybrid measure ... -
The impacts of sun exposure on worker physiology and cognition: Multi-country evidence and interventions
(2021)Background: A set of four case-control (n = 109), randomized-controlled (n = 7), cross-sectional (n = 78), and intervention (n = 47) studies was conducted across three countries to investigate the effects of sun exposure ... -
Measuring seaports' productivity a malmquist productivity index decomposition approach
(2015)This paper uses three different Malmquist productivity index (MPI) decompositions to measure Greek seaports' productivity for the period 2006-10. Bootstrap techniques are applied in order for confidence intervals of MPIs ... -
Occupational heat stress: Multi-country observations and interventions
(2021)Background: Occupational heat exposure can provoke health problems that increase the risk of certain diseases and affect workers’ ability to maintain healthy and productive lives. This study investigates the effects of ... -
