Download or read book U S Total Factor Productivity Slowdown written by Mr.Roberto Cardarelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total factor productivity (TFP) growth began slowing in the United States in the mid-2000s, before the Great Recession. To many, the main culprit is the fading positive impact of the information technology (IT) revolution that took place in the 1990s. But our estimates of TFP growth across the U.S. states reveal that the slowdown in TFP was quite widespread and not particularly stronger in IT-producing states or in those with a relatively more intensive usage of IT. An alternative explanation offered in this paper is that the slowdown in U.S. TFP growth reflects a loss of efficiency or market dynamism over the last two decades. Indeed, there are large differences in production efficiency across U.S. states, with the states having better educational attainment and greater investment in R&D being closer to the production “frontier.”

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productivity, Technology and Economic Growth presents a selection of recent research advances on long term economic growth. While the contributions stem from both economic history, macro- and microeconomics and the economics of innovation, all papers depart from a common viewpoint: the key factor behind long term growth is productivity, and the latter is primarily driven by technological change. Most contributions show implicitly or explicitly that technological change is at least partly dependent on growth itself. Furthermore, technology appears to interact strongly with investment in physical and human capital as well as with changes in historical, political and institutional settings. Together these papers are an up-to-date account of the remarkable convergence in theoretical and empirical work on productivity and growth over the past decades. The first part deals with the characteristics of growth regimes over longer periods, ranging from 20 years to two centuries. The next four chapters study the determinants of productivity growth and, in some cases, productivity slowdown during the last quarter of the twentieth century. The final five chapters focus on the role of technology and innovation as the key determinants of growth. Productivity, Technology and Economic Growth is, therefore, a welcome collection for academic scholars and graduate students in economics, history and related social sciences as well as for policy makers.

Download or read book New Developments in Productivity Analysis written by Charles R. Hulten and published by University of Chicago Press. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total factor productivity (TFP) growth in industrial manufacturing is measured for 15 major Indian states for the period 1982-83 to 2000-01 using non-parametric linear programming methods. TFP growth is decomposed into efficiency and technological changes and also measure for the bias in technical change. The resulting information is used to examine whether the post-reform period shows any improvement in productivity and efficiency in comparison to the pre-reform one. Findings of the present exercise indicate the improvement in TFP. The recent change in TFP is governed by the technical progress in contrast to similar gain caused by the improvement in technical efficiency in the pre-reform regime. The technological progress in state manufacturing exhibited a capital using bias during the study period. Regional differences in TFP persist, although the magnitude of variation has declined in the post-reform period. Moreover, it is also found that there is a tendency of convergence in terms of TFP growth rate among Indian states during the post-reform years and only the states that were technically efficient at the beginning of the reform remain innovative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines efficiency and total factor productivity in developing countries. The three chapters of the dissertation are summarized as follows: In the first chapter, we examine, the technical efficiency and total factor productivity (TFP) growth in African economies over the period 1990 to 2017. Also, factors that contribute to technical inefficiency are examined and the TFP growth is decomposed into technological progress, the scale component, and the change in technical efficiency. This is important for the designing of policies that will help improve the performance of these economies. The study also looks at country groups, i.e. former French and British colonies, and members and non-members of the West African Monetary and Economic Union (WAEMU) to understand differences in the level of efficiency. For the second chapter, using data from 14 Nigerian commercial banks for the period of 2005 to 2017, we examine what happens to the level of efficiency of these banks after the banking reforms are implemented in 2005. A more efficient flexible Fourier stochastic frontier analysis for cost function was adopted to measure the efficiency parameters. We find there exists about a 30% gap between efficient cost level and current cost level suggesting a substantial inefficiency. We also observe signs of technological progress in the banking sector of Nigeria. The efficiency level crucially depends on the size of the bank and the functional differences in the scope of the banks. Lastly, in the third chapter, we estimate the technical efficiencies and total factor productivity (TFP) growth of selected manufacturing industries in Bangladesh from five rounds of survey: 1982/83, 1984/85, 1988/89, 2005/06 and 2012 are estimated using the stochastic frontier model. The result shows that, on average, technical efficiency was 80%. Furthermore, TFP growth is decomposed into technological progress, scale component, and efficiency growth. It is noted that export oriented industries are more efficient than import oriented industries, also, small sized industries have higher TFP growth than medium and big sized industries. The estimates of TFP growth indicate that productivity in Bangladeshi manufacturing industries was at 5.5% for the period in review. The decomposition of TFP indicates that technological progress is a major contributor to growth.
