the main objective of this study is to investigate the production factors productivity in large manufacturing sub-sectors. for this purpose, using statistical data for period 1972-2004, we have tried to study and analyze the trend and level of production factors productivity (partial and total productivity) in each sub-sectors classified according to isic two digits code. the average and margin...

We analyze regional contributions to changes in China’s maize productivity over the period 2005–2015. National total factor (TFP) for industry is calculated using share of each province’s production as weights. then decompose national TFP this into provincial contributions. Our results show that Jilin, which largest producer among all major provinces, has made a negative contribution change pro...

This paper uses aggregate Japanese data and sectoral US data to explore the properties of the joint behavior of stock prices and total factor productivity (TFP) with the aim of highlighting data patterns that are useful for evaluating business cycle theories. The approach used follows that presented in [Beaudry, P., Portier, F., 2004. News, stock prices and economic fluctuations. Working paper ...

This paper presents an empirical analysis to improve our understanding of the catch-up and convergence tendencies of total factor productivity (TFP) growth across the Chinese provinces over 2003–2012. After controlling for the province heterogeneity, our regression results show that the Chinese provinces exhibit significant conditional convergence in TFP growth over the sample period. This indi...

Commonly increases in total factor productivity (TFP) are associated with technological innovations measured by R&D expenditures. Empirical evidence seems to corroborate this relationship. However, in trading countries like the Netherlands, productivity increases, even in industry, can also be the result of innovations in the way transactions are managed. These innovations reduce transaction co...

This paper examines the effects and mechanism of financialization manufacturing enterprises on total factor productivity (TFP). Thus, it provides evidence economic consequences corporate from perspective productivity. Using panel data China's listed companies 2007 to 2018, level is measured using proportion financial assets in assets. The results show that deepening significantly red...

The objective of this paper is to apply the Translog Stochastic Frontier production model (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiencies over time and the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth rate for Bangladeshi rice crops (Aus, Aman and Boro) throughout the most recent data available comprising the period 1989-2008. Results indicate that technical efficiency was observed...

This paper investigates the relationship between firm productivity and four different board characteristics, including board size, board composition, board ownership and board leadership. Using total factor productivity (TFP) as a measure for productivity, we find an inverse association between board size and productivity and a positive relationship between board composition and productivity in...
