Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research on productivity growth has focused on public infrastructure and its impact on economic growth and productivity. We construct a model of firms' technology and behavior, taking advantage of the analytical framework provided in the cost-function-based applied production-theory literature, and apply it to state-level data for U.S. manufacturing. We find that infrastructure investment provides a significant return to manufacturing firms and augments productivity growth. The net benefits of infrastructure investment may or may not be positive, depending upon the social costs of infrastructure investment and the relative growth rates of output and infrastructure.
Download or read book Productivity in Indian Manufacturing written by Vinish Kathuria and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprehensively captures trends in productivity and its determinants in the post-reform period for Indian manufacturing. It provides an up-to-date survey of different methods employed in measuring productivity and their applications across organized and unorganized sectors, including food, beverages, furniture, gems, chemicals, petroleum and rubber, metals and minerals, paper products, publishing, textiles, etc. The essays examine the uneven impact of economic reforms and growth on the performance of the manufacturing sector. This will be especially useful to students and scholars of economics, business and management, policymakers and governmental agencies, particularly those interested in Indian economy and manufacturing.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What caused the increase in industrial productivity in the marketing sector of India in the 1980s after nearly two decades of industrial stagnation? This book examines the causes of this turn around, including improvements in planning and performance of infrastructure sectors, as well as changes in industrial and trade policies. The study emphasizes the need for policy reform at the microeconomic level combined with strong measures designed to enhance a macroeconomic environment which is conducive to growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure provides the necessary services that support economic growth by increasing the productivity of labours and capital, thereby reducing the costs of production and raising profitability, production, income and employment. Extensive and efficient infrastructure is critical for ensuring the effective functioning of any economy. However, the development of infrastructure and its growth may depend upon the peculiar priorities and performance of the State governments in a federal structure of government such as that of India. Some states have grown very fast while some have been sluggish in their infrastructure development, due to various reasons. In this context this study made an attempt to assess the performance of Indian States on infrastructure using the framework of inter-State analysis.The infrastructure performance of these States has been analysed using infrastructure density data i.e., service capacity created per unit service area or population and the growth performance through 'quadrant analysis'. The assessment of Infrastructure performance of States has been done with reference to each infrastructure categories through the ranking of States in terms of levels over two time periods and growth. The States that have performed on both counts have further been categorised into top and bottom performers. The overall assessment of infrastructure density performance of States has been done subsequently by aggregating sector ranks and then categorising into top and bottom overall performers. These scores are also normalised within and across sectors to get indexed performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If infrastructure tends to generate spillover externalities, as has been the assumption in much of the development literature, one may reasonably look for evidence of such indirect effects in the accounts of manufacturing industries. Empirical support for this assumption has so far been ambiguous. This analysis of Indian data, however, reveals substantial externality effects from the states' infrastructure to manufacturing productivity. The analysis separates the direct effects of roads and electricity, as mediated by the infrastructure services purchased by manufacturing industries along with other intermediate inputs, from the indirect effects, as measured by the impact of infrastructure capacity on the Solow productivity residual. In the 20 years from 1972 to 1992, growth of road and electricity-generating capacity seems to have accounted for nearly half the growth of the productivity residual of India's registered manufacturing.

Book excerpt: This report answers the question: “What guidelines can be used to identify the types of agricultural investments that have the highest economic return, where “agriculture” is broadly defined to include primary production, handling, storage, transportation, distribution, processing, and retailing?” Using the literature and MCC’s ERR analyses, we explain how agricultural investments fit in a wider development context, identify information useful to MCC’s decision making that is not provided by the ERR analyses, and suggest IFPRI tools for exploratory and ex-ante evaluative analysis that MCC can use in their decision-making process.

This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world, of late, has seen a productivity slowdown. Many countries continue to recover from various shocks in the macro business environment, along with structural changes and inward looking policies. In contemporary times of growth slumps, various exits and protectionist regimes, this book engages with the study of productivity dynamics in the emerging and industrialized economies. The essays address the crucial aspects, such as the roles of human capital, investment accounting and datasets, that help understanding of productivity performance of global economy and its several regions. This book will be of interest to academics, practitioners and professionals in the field of economic growth, productivity and development studies. This will also be an important reference on empirical industrial economics in both India and the world.

Book excerpt: We estimate the rate of total factor productivity growth in Indian manufacturing industry for the period 1973-1992, and compare the results to those obtained by Young for the East Asian Tigers. We then interpret our results in light of Krugman's hypothesis that, because the Asian Miracle was driven by capital formation under diminishing marginal returns, it is not sustainable. We suggest a reinterpretation of the sustainability problem that recognizes the true role of TFP as a motive force in output growth. Past studies have compared the TFP residual to the growth rate of output and used this ratio as a measure of the importance of TFP as a source of growth. We argue that this is an erroneous way of assessing the role of TFP, because it ignores the additional capital formation made possible by an increase in productivity and therefore understates productivity's true importance. Our estimates suggest that the understatement may be quite large, and that one might better ask if the growth rate of TFP, rather than capital growth, is sustainable.
