Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of technology improves the efficiency of the production process and increases the competitiveness of the commodity produced in general. Considering an open economy, technology raises a price and a quality competitiveness of domestic goods in the international market. Therefore, technology innovation is known to be one of the most essential factors in economic growth. However, there are two different views regarding to the effects of technology on employment. A negative insight of technology on employment insists that a simple labor-saving technology innovation like the introduction of automated equipment increases value-added at the expense of unskilled labor. On the contrary, technology innovation in some industries causes ultimate growth in the industry, and subsequently requires more employment. This is the income effect of technology innovation. Besides technology innovation in some industries spills over into other industries, leads to their growth, and brings about positive inter-industry effects from the technology. These two insights regarding to the technology effect on employment have been cited in the previous literature. First, with the negative aspects, Gali (1999) shows that positive technology innovation reduced U.S. total work hours in the short run. Francis and Ramsey(2005) and Basu, Fernald, and Kimball(2006) also suggest that an aggregate technology shock can reduce the use of labor, investment and real interest rates, even in the short run. And Canova, Lopez-Salido, and Michelacci(2007) suggest that a possible reason for this mechanism is “search friction” in the labor market. Kim, Choi, and Lee (2007) investigate the effects of labor productivity shocks on employment in aggregate, manufacturing, services, ICT, and non-ICT industries using 1993~2006 data in Korea. They show that a productivity shock in an industry reduces employment of the industry in the short run, but the positive transmission effects of productivity on employment exist from non-ICT innovation to ICT employment. Choi and Lee(2008) provide that employment was reduced, especially in for unskilled jobs, by technological development and globalization during the years 1991~2007 in Korea. They estimate that the reduction was 11,000 job positions as an annual average.6) Kim(2008b) insists that the technology innovation in Korea has had a labor saving feature. As empirical evidence, he showed the negative relationship between productivity and employment using panel model with 1993~2007 data.However, some studies show that the effect of technology on employment can be positive. The idea is based on the theory of RBC(Real Business Cycle), of which technology innovation increases employment as well as production. Related past studies are summarized in Christiano et al.(2003) and Uhlig (2004).8) Kim(2001)9) provides that there has been no significant employment reduction effect in Korea since 1970 using the empirical method of Gali (1999). Also, Kang(2006)10) uses the same empirical method with Gali(1999) and shows that the effects of technology innovation on employment can be different across industries. The effects were significantly positive in manufacturing, but insignificant in services.This paper investigates the effect of productivity on employment and also tests whether the effect has changed from the year 2000. In particular, the paper attempts to include the inter-industry effect of productivity on employment. The initiative of considering inter-industrial effect of productivity starts from Kim and Kim(2008)11) which investigates the effect of total factor productivity on investment and employment and shows two different empirical results by model specification; the effect was positive using national level data, but was negative using industry panel data. We have outlined the purpose of the paper and related studies in this first section. In section 2, the data for the empirical analysis is described. Section 3 and section 4 show the empirical model specifications for analysis and the subsequent results. Section 5 provides the conclusion and implications from the empirical results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes present empirical studies that have permanently altered professional debates over investment and productivity as sources of postwar economic growth in industrialized countries. The distinctive feature of investment is that returns can be internalized by the investor. The most straightforward application of this idea is to investments that create property rights, but these volumes broaden the meaning of capital formation to include investments in education and training. International Comparisons of Economic Growth focuses on comparisons among industrialized countries. Although Germany and Japan are often portrayed as economic adversaries of the U.S., postwar experiences in all three countries support policies that give high priority to stimulating and rewarding capital formation. In the Asian model of growth exemplified by Japan investments in tangible assets and human capital are especially critical during periods of rapid growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With searing wit and incisive commentary, John Kenneth Galbraith redefined America's perception of itself in The New Industrial State, one of his landmark works. The United States is no longer a free-enterprise society, Galbraith argues, but a structured state controlled by the largest companies. Advertising is the means by which these companies manage demand and create consumer "need" where none previously existed. Multinational corporations are the continuation of this power system on an international level. The goal of these companies is not the betterment of society, but immortality through an uninterrupted stream of earnings. First published in 1967, The New Industrial State continues to resonate today.

This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume uses the study of firm dynamics to investigate the factors preventing faster productivity growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, pushing past the limits of traditional macroeconomic analyses. Each chapter is dedicated to an examination of a different factor affecting firm productivity - innovation, ICT usage, on-the-job-training, firm age, access to credit, and international linkages - highlighting the differences in firm characteristics, behaviors, and strategies. By showcasing this remarkable heterogeneity, this collection challenges regional policymakers to look beyond one-size-fits-all solutions and create balanced policy mixes tailored to distinct firm needs.

Download or read book Productivity and U S Economic Growth written by Dale Weldeau Jorgenson and published by Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1948 and 1979, economic activity in the United States increased almost twice as much as over the entire preceding course of American history. The traditional explanation of this remarkable development emphasizes productivity growth. In the most sophisticated study to date of the factors currently affecting economic growth, the authors of this book show that capital formation is far more important, with the growth of labor resources and productivity a distant second. Their conclusions rest on a far more detailed empirical base than any ever assembled in studies of economic growth. For example, the authors distinguish among 81,600 types of labor input -- broken down by age, sex, education, occupation, and industry of employment. Similarly, they disaggregate capital by industry, class of asset, and tax treatment. Their analysis of economic growth is from the "bottom up'' rather than the "top down'' approach used in earlier work. The new findings imply that efforts to revive U.S. economic growth must focus on increased supplies of capital and labor inputs. This is the key to more rapid growth and international competition. One of the most important features of the book is the way in which it successfully integrates the theory of producer behavior with the indexing and measurement of production growth. The authors present startling new findings showing that less than one-fourth of overall growth is attributable to advances in productivity.

Download or read book Productivity Growth from an International Trade Perspective written by Ulf Lewrick and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a framework to assess the relative importance of three key sources of productivity growth that international trade research focuses on: (1) inter-industry specialization; (2) intra-industry reallocation of resources across heterogeneous firms; and (3) technological progress. We illustrate how to apply the framework by deciphering the productivity dynamics of the Swiss manufacturing industry. We find that intra-industry reallocations are the most important source of growth in aggregate total factor productivity, spurred by the productivity growth of large, incumbent firms and the entry of new firms. Inter-industry specialization and general technological progress, nevertheless, remain important supplementary sources of productivity growth.

Download or read book Structural Reforms Productivity and Technological Change in Latin America written by Jorge M. Katz and published by United Nations Publications. This book was released on 2001 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last ten to fifteen years, profound structural reforms have moved Latin America and the Caribbean from closed, state-dominated economies to ones that are more market-oriented and open. Policymakers expected that these changes would speed up growth. This book is part of a multi-year project to determine whether these expectation have been fulfilled. Focusing on technological change, the impact of the reforms on the process of innovation is examined. It notes that the development process is proving to be highly heterogenous across industries, regions and firms and can be described as strongly inequitable. This differentiation that has emerged has implications for job creation, trade balance, and the role of small and medium sized firms. This ultimately suggests, amongst other things, the need for policies to better spread the use of new technologies.

Download or read book FDI and Productivity Growth written by Yanling Wang and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a large literature on the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on productivity through inter-industry economic linkages. This paper contributes to the literature by focusing on the developed economy of Canada. It finds that FDI generates strong effects on total factor productivity (TFP) growth through both forward and backward inter-industry linkages, and increase in an industry's absorptive capacity raises the effects of FDI on TFP growth through forward inter-industry linkages. For R&D intensive industries, the effects of FDI on TFP growth through inter-industry linkages are small, but imports turn out to be an important source for TFP growth. Il existe une vaste littérature sur les effets de l'investissement direct de l'étranger (IDE) sur la productivité par le truchement des liens interindustriels. Ce mémoire porte sur l'économie canadienne. On montre que l'IDE a des effets importants sur la croissance de la productivité totale des facteurs de production (PTF) via les liens interindustriels en aval et en amont, et que l'accroissement dans la capacité d'absorption d'une industrie accroît les effets de l'IDE sur la PTF via les liens interindustriels en aval. Pour les industries à forte intensité de R&D, les effets de l'IDE sur la croissance de la PTF via les liens interindustriels sont faibles, mais les importations sont une source importante de croissance de la PTF.
