Hello,

this definition is quite problematic, actually, as productivity in economics, is essentially a measure of efficiency (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity). What you are referring to here is more a measure of the efficient (new) outputs, for instance, so a measure of the production. A measure of productivity would be a measure of new text (number of characters, for instance) *over* the number of edits needed to do so.

This said, measuring exactly what the inputs and the outputs are is a complex question, we tried to address with K. Crowston and F. Ortega here:

I'm working on a research paper and one of the reviewers has commented that
"There is even a Wikipedia measure called productivity, which is
essentially the amount of text produced over time less the reverted text"

Anybody familiar with that metric of "productivity"?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ofer
