This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The productivity slowdown of the 1970s and 1980s and the resumption of productivity growth in the 1990s have provoked controversy among policymakers and researchers. Economists have been forced to reexamine fundamental questions of measurement technique. Some researchers argue that econometric approaches to productivity measurement usefully address shortcomings of the dominant index number techniques while others maintain that current productivity statistics underreport damage to the environment. In this book, the contributors propose innovative approaches to these issues. The result is a state-of-the-art exposition of contemporary productivity analysis. Charles R. Hulten is professor of economics at the University of Maryland. He has been a senior research associate at the Urban Institute and is chair of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Michael Harper is chief of the Division of Productivity Research at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Edwin R. Dean, formerly associate commissioner for Productivity and Technology at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is adjunct professor of economics at The George Washington University.

Book excerpt: Within the conventional neoclassical framework, a distinction is sometimes made between product-augmenting and factor-augmenting technical change. A parallel distinction is commonly made between embodied and disembodied technical change with the former associated with factor, and the latter with product, augmentation. Disembodied change is commonly assumed to arise from increases in the stock of knowledge, independently of the characteristics of the inputs used, while embodied change relates to increases in the efficiency of inputs, that is, labor skills or the productivity of physical capital.

Book excerpt: Technology has been thought and discussed as one of the pivotal sources of economic growth. As the importance of technology and R& D, as its embodied form, being increased of its importance, a critical concern has been given on how to organize technology development. The concern is not confined to developing countries, but also extends to advanced nations due to a trait of knowledge intensive economies, which require longer and more complex linkages from knowledge to the actual production of goods and services. This book covers the issue of organizing technology development with multinational cases ranging from Korea, Japan to United States and other countries with universally applicable theories that provide possibilities for application in other countries. The other peculiarity of this book is that it presents not only what has happened in its analysis, but also tries to describe possible future trends. Changing contexts of capitalism has increased necessity to organize technology development even for advanced nations as long as they are regarded as knowledge intensive economies. Against the dynamic of longer & more complex linkages from knowledge to production, the answer from the economy & society was to increase R&D to "ride" the dynamic of "intensified" technology requirements.

Download or read book Estimation of the Depreciation Rate of Physical and R D Capital in the U S Total Manufacturing Sector written by M. Ishaq Nadiri and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous studies on production and cost, the sources of productivity and studies on endogenous growth have recognized the pivotal role of the physical capital stock. Also there is a clear recognition by economists and policy makers that knowledge capital approximated by R & D capital is crucial for productivity growth and the transformation of the industrial structure of an economy. Critical to these contributions of physical and R & D capital is the measurement of the stocks of physical and R & D capital, which in turn requires measuring their depreciation rates. In this paper we have specified a model of factor demand that allows for estimating the depreciation rate of both physical and R & D capital jointly with the other model parameters. The model was estimated for the U.S. total manufacturing sector. Our estimate for the depreciation rate of physical capital is 0.059 and that for R & D capital is 0.12. Only gross investment data are needed to estimate the model parameters and the depreciation rates, and to generate consistent series for the stocks of physical and R & D capital.
