Agglomeration spill-over benefits are a major driver of policy creating industrial and science parks across the world. However, agglomeration benefits can be offset by competition arising out of the spatial proximity of firms. In this paper we examine the impact of agglomeration and selection on Taiwanese firms' total factor productivity (TFP) distribution and show that agglomeration causes the...

Total factor productivity (TFP) growth in industrial manufacturing is measured for 15 major Indian states for the period 1982-83 to 2000-01 using non-parametric linear programming methods. TFP growth is decomposed into efficiency and technological changes and also measure for the bias in technical change. The resulting information is used to examine whether the post-reform period shows any impr...

this paper tries to measure and analyze the trend of indicators of labor and capital productivity as well as total factor productivity (tfp) in the economic sectors introduced in the 4th five-year-development plan for the period within 1971-2003. according to the results, the productivity indicator throughout iran has increased 0/9% on average annually and the highest growth has been in the tel...

Œis is a very interesting and provocative paper on an important topic. Growth in advanced economies of the world have seŠled into a tepid pace of 1%-2% a year associated with a decline in total factor and labor productivity over the past decade. It is imperative to understand the sources of low productivity growth and to evaluate what policies can rejuvenate growth. Œe potential growth rate of ...

Using detailed data on veterinary, ecological, sanitary, phytosanitary and mandatory certification measures, this paper studies the effect of non-tariff measures (NTMs) firm productivity in food-processing industry through forward backward linkages. quantity value output at product level, we calculate compare quantity- revenue-based total factor (TFP). Exploiting episode NTM liberalisation Ukra...

We explore the impact of financial friction on resource misallocation and total factor productivity (TFP) China. First, mathematical models are derived to clarify mechanism consequence misallocation, showing that leads mismatch, thus results in loss TFP. Second, taking dataset China as research sample, we establish econometric impacts allocation The show has negative TFP In addition, markets wi...

introduction: the growth of agricultural production and natural resources are from primary objectives of any political system, because this section has a vital role in providing food security. according to the production theories, production growth will come from two sources; more use of production factors within the framework of existing technologies and second, with using more advanced and mo...

This paper investigated the performance of Malaysian power plants from year 2015 to 2017 using Malmquist Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index, which is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). approach offers substantial advantages as compared other existing methods it can measure productivity changes over time for a variety inputs and outputs. Moreover, comprises two primary components: tech...

Based on the data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2020, this article examines driving effect Digital Transformation Corporations (DTC) Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and selects Green Technology Innovation (GTIC) as mediating variable test mechanism action corporate TFP improvement. It is found that can significantly promote improvement; analysis shows drives improvement by pr...

This study assesses five common explanations for the large decline in U.S. total factor productivity (TFP) during the Great Depression: changes in capacity utilization, factor input quality, and production composition; labor hoarding; and increasing returns to scale. The study finds that these factors explain less than onethird of the 18 percent TFP decline between 1929 and 1933. The rest of th...
