Globalization, structural change and productivity growth
One of the earliest and most central insights of the literature on economic development is that development entails structural change. The countries that manage to pull themselves out of poverty and get richer are those that are able to diversify away from agriculture and other traditional products. As labour and other resources move from agriculture into modern economic activities, overall pro...
متن کاملProductivity Growth and Convergence: Updated Evidence of a Structural Change
Data envelopment analysis (DEA), originally developed to study production efficiency of micro-level organizations, has recently been used to construct a production-frontier approach to the analysis of international macroeconomic growth and convergence patterns. DEA methods are used to construct the convex production frontier and this construction is then employed to decompose productivity growt...
متن کاملTechnological progress, structural change and productivity growth: a comparative study
The relationship between the economic structure of a country and its productivity growth has received a lot of attention in recent decades. For instance, several theoretical models in this area now suggest that countries that specialize in technologically progressive industries will enjoy high rates of growth compared to other countries. This paper focuses on the impact of specialization and st...
متن کاملLabor Productivity: Structural Change and Cyclical Dynamics
A longstanding puzzle of empirical economics is that average labor productivity declines during recessions and increases during booms. This paper provides a framework to assess the empirical importance of competing hypotheses for explaining the observed procyclicality. For each competing hypothesis we derive the implications for cyclical productivity conditional on expectations of future demand...
متن کاملTotal 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...
