Total Factor Productivity Growth, Technical Change and Technical Efficiency Change in Asian Economies: Decomposition Analysis
The aim of this paper is to analyze total factor productivity (TFP) growth and its components in Asian countries applying Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to the time series data of 44 Asian countries from 2000 to 2010. Using Battese and Coelli approach, TFP is divided into technical efficiency change and technical change. TFP decomposition using SFA method for the years 1998 to 2007 indicate...
متن کاملStructural Change and Non-Constant Biased Technical Change
Empirical evidence suggests that the differences in rates of technical progress across sectors are time-variant, implying that the bias in technological change is not constant. In this paper, we analyze the implications of this nonconstant sectoral biased technical change for structural change and we assess whether this is an important factor behind structural transformations. To this end, we d...

متن کاملSkill-Biased Technical Change and the Cost of Higher Education
We document the growth in higher education costs and tuition over the past 50 years. To explain these trends, we develop a general equilibrium model with skilland sector-biased technical change. Finding the model’s parameters through a combination of estimation and calibration, we show that it can explain the rise in college costs between 1961 and 2009, along with the increase in college attain...
متن کاملCentralized wage bargaining and skill-biased technical change
Last decades have seen substantial changes in some countriescollective bargaining institutions, with a general trend towards more decentralized wage negotiations, specially in the Scandinavian countries. This paper supports the hypothesis that deunionization and decentralization in the wage setting process is a consequence of a skill-biased technical change. The main contribution of the paper ...
