Book R D  Production Structure and Productivity Growth

Download or read book R D Production Structure and Productivity Growth written by M. Ishaq Nadiri and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We estimate and compare the production structures of the US, Japanese, and Korean total manufacturing sectors for the 1974-1990 period. We employ a translog variable cost function that includes such inputs as labor, materials, physical and R&D capital with the physical and R&D capital treated as quasi-fixed subject to adjustment costs. The paper provides estimates for markups, returns to scale, rates of return on physical and R&D capital, and technical change. The paper also identifies the sources of the growth of output, labor productivity, and total factor productivity. The results show that resource accumulation, not technical change, is the key factor in rapid output growth, and that the R&D capital and technical change have been major contributors of the TFP growth in the US and Japanese manufacturing but not in the Korean manufacturing sector

Book R D  Production Structure  and Productivity Growth in the U S   Japaneseand German Manufacturing Sectors

Download or read book R D Production Structure and Productivity Growth in the U S Japaneseand German Manufacturing Sectors written by Pierre A. Mohnen and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper analyzes the production structure and the demand for inputs in three major industrialized countries, the U.S., Japan and Germany. A dynamic factor demand model with two variable inputs (labor and energy)and two quasi-fixed inputs (capital and R&D) is derived directly from an intertemporal cost-minimization problem formulated in discrete time. Adjustment costs are explicitly specified. The model is estimated for the manufacturing sector of the three countries using annual data from 1965 to 1977. Particular attention is given to the role of R&D. For all countries the rate of return on R&D is found to be higher than that on capital. Their respective magnitudes are similar across countries.We find considerable differences in factor demand schedules; we also find that for all countries the speed of adjustment for capital is higher than that of R&D. Adjustment costs are of importance in the demand equations for capital and R&D, but play a minor role in the decomposition of total factor productivity growth.

Book Comparison and Analysis of Productivity Growth and R   D Investment in TheElectrical Machinery Industries of the United States and Japan

Download or read book Comparison and Analysis of Productivity Growth and R D Investment in TheElectrical Machinery Industries of the United States and Japan written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a comparative analysis of productivity growth in the U.S. and Japanese electrical machinery industries in the postwar period. This industry has experienced rapid growth in output and productivity and high rates of capital formation in both countries. A substantial amount of R & D resources of the total manufacturing sectors in both countries is concentrated In the electrical machinery industry. Also, this industry has an active export orientation in both countries. The analysis of the paper is based on dynamic factor demand models describing the production structure and the behavior of factor inputs as well as the determinants of productivity growth in the U.S. and Japanese electrical machinery industry. The analysis shows that the production structure of the industry in both countries is characterized by increasing returns to scale; the factors of production do respond to changes in factor prices; and the existence of a pattern of substitution and complementarity among the inputs. The main sources of productivity growth are: growth in materials; technical change; and capital accumulation. R & D expenditures have also contributed significantly to growth of labor and productivity while the most important source of total factor productivity in this industry for both countries has been the scale effect followed by changes in technical progress.

Book The Changing Face of Korean Management

Download or read book The Changing Face of Korean Management written by Chris Rowley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the successful Routledge ‘Working in Asia’ series, The Changing Face of Korean Management focuses on a country that is predicted by some experts to become the world’s third richest by 2025. South Korea, with its thriving telecommunications and automotive industries, and increasing trade links with China, survived the 1997 Asian Economic Crisis better than most. This important textbook explores the key areas of management in this pivotal country in the region, including: Human Resource Management Marketing Operations Finance Strategy Overseas affiliates Small firms and entrepreneurship Women Including case studies and interviews with front-line Korean managers to enable a real ‘voice’ to emerge, and written by native academics, this is a complete analysis of the current state of management structures in South Korea. It is important reading for all students of business and management interested in Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth across countries during the last 30 years or so has displayed 'dual' divergence between developed and developing countries, and among developing countries. The structural transformation has been either slow or of an anomalous nature. The study addresses these and suggests how they can catch-up with developed world.

Book International R   D Spillovers Between U S  and Japanese R   D Intensive Sectors

Download or read book International R D Spillovers Between U S and Japanese R D Intensive Sectors written by Jeffrey I. Bernstein and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A great deal of empirical evidence shows that a country's production structure and productivity growth depend on its own R & D capital formation. With the growing role of international trade, foreign investment and international knowledge diffusion, domestic production and productivity also depend on the R & D activities of other countries. The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the bilateral link between the U.S. and Japanese economies in terms of how R & D capital formation in one country affects the production structure, physical and R & D capital accumulation, and productivity growth in the other country. We find that production processes become less labor intensive as international R & D spillovers grow. In the short-run, R & D intensity is complementary to the international spillover. This relationship persists in the long-run for the U.S., but the Japanese decrease their own R & D intensity. U.S.R & D capital accounts for 60% of Japanese total factor productivity growth, while Japanese R & D capital contributes 20% to U.S. productivity gains. International spillovers cause social rates of return to be about four times the private returns
