Severe Air Pollution and Labor Productivity: Evidence from Industrial Towns in China

Foreign Knowledge Spillovers and Total Factor Productivity Growth: Evidence from Four ASEAN Countries

This study examines the dynamic relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and total factor productivity having controlled for other channels of external openness: exports and imports in four ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. We employ the panel data analysis PDA (fixed effect and dynamic panel models) as well as the panel cointegration and Granger causali...

A survey was conducted of approximately 1000 industrial firms in three provinces in China, which collects the detail...

Heterogeneity of total factor productivity across Latin American countries: evidence from manufacturing firms∗

We use a firm production function approach to generate estimates of total factor productivity (TFP) and labor productivity in the manufacturing sector for a group of Latin American countries. We exploit these estimates to study the relative position of countries within this sector and to explore the main correlates of firm productivity. We find that while the exact ranking of average TFP is sen...

Study on the green total factor productivity in main cities of China*1

The aim of this research is to investigate China’s urban green total factor productivity (TFP) under the background of progressing urbanization and intensifying environmental pollution, and found out its main influencing factors. In this paper, green TFP of 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2012 was estimated through Malmquist productivity index. Results showed that the annual g...
