Robin C. Sickles is an American economist.
He has worked extensively in modeling productivity and efficiency and health outcomes and risk factors that impact health. His research provides new methodological approaches to model and measure complicated economic behaviors and outcomes. His work also focuses on the role that econometrics plays in policy issues, such as market regulation, market transition, and deterrence versus preventive measures in the criminal justice system. After graduating from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1972 (B.S., Economics), he earned a Ph.D. in Economics in 1976 from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is the Reginald Henry Hargrove Chair in Economics Emeritus and Professor Statistics Emeritus at Rice University.

He has co-authored and edited eleven books, volumes, journal special issues related to applied econometric topics, over 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and over 50 chapters in handbooks and other volumes. [1] [2] [3] His most recent major work is Measurement of Productivity and Efficiency: Theory and Practice ( with Valentin Zelenyuk. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2019.) [4]
He has authored and/or edited 11 books, volumes and special issues, published in journals such as Econometrica, Journal of Econometrics, Journal of Applied Econometrics, Review of Economics and Statistics, American Economic Review, International Economic Review, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Journal of Labor Economics, The Economic Journal and Journal of Human Resources, among others. Some of his most recent and prominent publications are:
In economics, total-factor productivity (TFP), also called multi-factor productivity, is usually measured as the ratio of aggregate output to aggregate inputs. Under some simplifying assumptions about the production technology, growth in TFP becomes the portion of growth in output not explained by growth in traditionally measured inputs of labour and capital used in production. TFP is calculated by dividing output by the weighted geometric average of labour and capital input, with the standard weighting of 0.7 for labour and 0.3 for capital. Total factor productivity is a measure of productive efficiency in that it measures how much output can be produced from a certain amount of inputs. It accounts for part of the differences in cross-country per-capita income. For relatively small percentage changes, the rate of TFP growth can be estimated by subtracting growth rates of labor and capital inputs from the growth rate of output.
