The Virtual Workplace : Public Health, Efficiency, and Opportunity
The recent pandemic has clarified the overwhelming connection between the workplace and technology.With thousands of employees suddenly forced to work at home, a large segment of the workforce quickly received crash courses in videoconferencing and other technologies, and society as a whole took a step back to redefine what employment actually means.The virtual workplace is the blending of brick-and-mortar physical places of business with the advanced technologies that now make it possible for workers to perform their duties outside of the office.Trying to regulate in this area requires the application of decades old employment laws to a context never even contemplated by the legislatures that wrote those rules.This book explores the emerging issues of virtual work—defining employment, litigating claims, aggregating cases, unionizing workers, and preventing harassment—and provides clarity to these areas, synthesizing the current case law, statutory rules, and academic literature to provide guidance to workers and companies operating in the technology sector.

Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

Promoting energy efficiency standards and technologies to enhance energy efficiency in buildings
Considerable progress in energy efficiency in the building sector is reported in the majority of the UNECE member States, and still reaching the potential often falls short due to flawed policy frameworks, and lack of public awareness on available modern technologies and education on long-term economic and social benefits of energy efficiency improvement.This publication is prepared in response to the outlined challenges and aims to elucidate the status of implementation of energy efficiency standards in buildings and deployment of appropriate technologies, and to identify good policy practices and replicable solutions.It also proposes a set of general recommendations and priority actions arising from the analysis.

Asymptotic Efficiency of Nonparametric Tests
Making a substantiated choice of the most efficient statistical test is one of the basic problems of statistics.Asymptotic efficiency is an indispensable technique for comparing and ordering statistical tests in large samples.It is especially useful in nonparametric statistics where it is usually necessary to rely on heuristic tests.This monograph presents a unified treatment of the analysis and calculation of the asymptotic efficiencies of nonparametric tests.Powerful new methods are developed to evaluate explicitly different kinds of efficiencies.Of particular interest is the description of domains of the Bahadur local optimality and related characterisation problems based on recent research by the author.Other Russian results are also published here for the first time in English.Researchers, professionals and students in statistics will find this book invaluable.

Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement
A systematic treatment of dynamic decision making and performance measurementModern business environments are dynamic.Yet, the models used to make decisions and quantify success within them are stuck in the past.In a world where demands, resources, and technology are interconnected and evolving, measures of efficiency need to reflect that environment. In Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement, Elvira Silva, Spiro E.Stefanou, and Alfons Oude Lansink look at the business process from a dynamic perspective.Their systematic study covers dynamic production environments where current production decisions impact future production possibilities.By considering practical factors like adjustments over time, this book offers an important lens for contemporary microeconomic analysis.Silva, Stefanou, and Lansink develop the analytical foundations of dynamic production technology in both primal and dual representations, with an emphasis on directional distance functions.They cover concepts measuring the production structure (economies of scale, economies of scope, capacity utilization) and performance (allocative, scale and technical inefficiency, productivity) in a methodological and comprehensive way. Through a unified approach, Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement offers a guide to how firms maximize potential in changing environments and an invaluable contribution to applied microeconomics.
