productivities
Measures of efficiency
Productivities is the plural of productivity, referring to multiple measures or types of output relative to input.
The term appears in technical and academic contexts comparing efficiency across different sectors, time periods, or methods: Labor productivities varied widely across the factories.
In economics, total factor productivities measures output beyond what labor and capital inputs explain.
