Abstract This paper documents the sectoral growth paths of measured total factor productivity (TFP) in southern Europe during the boom that proceeded the great contraction (1996 to 2007). Using both aggregate and firm-level panel data, I show that TFP in sectors that displayed fast expansion, such as construction, dropped significantly, while in non-expanding sectors, such as manufacturing, it ...

The economic costs of environmental regulations have been widely debated since the U.S. began to restrict pollution emissions more than four decades ago. Using detailed production data from nearly 1.2 million plant observations drawn from the 1972-1993 Annual Survey of Manufactures, we estimate the effects of air quality regulations on manufacturing plants’ total factor productivity (TFP) level...

Abstract We analyse the impact of Covid-19 on productivity using data from an innovative monthly firm survey that asks for quantitative impacts inputs and outputs. find total factor (TFP) fell by up to 6% during 2020-21. The overall combined large reductions in ‘within-firm’ productivity, with offsetting positive ‘between-firm’ effects as less productive sectors, firms within them, contracted. ...

Previous research on agricultural productivity in Africa has focused conventional Total Factor (TFP) growth rather than Green factor (GATFP) growth, thus ignoring the effect of undesirable outputs such as emissions. This raised concerns about sustainability continent. The study was designed to examine GATFP for 49 African nations from 2000 2019. We apply Global Malmquist–Luenberger (GML) Produc...

the purpose of this study is calculate the rate of total factor productivity (tfp) growth  of rice varieties for different provinces of  iran and then breakdown it to the changes in a technology, management efficiency and scale efficiency. for this purpose we use the nonparametric method of comprehensive data analysis and malmquist productivity index. the used data include the rice varieties pr...

We analyze the relationship between Antidumping (AD) Protection and the productivity of EU domestic firms in import-competing industries. For this purpose we identify a panel of domestic firms between 1993 and 2003 that at some point during this period are affected by AD initiations. Using a difference-in-difference approach, we find that AD measures result in improvements of measured productiv...

The growth of agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) is seen as a driving force for the sustainable development agriculture. Meanwhile, promotion urbanization in China has exerted profound impact on production. This paper calculates TFP and analyzes effect urbanization. Firstly, DEA-Malmquist method used to calculate dynamic change from 2004 2016. Secondly, spatial spillover investigated ...

introduction: in this study, total factor productivity growth components in rough rice production are assisting by econometric approach and stochastic frontier function during 2005-2013 for several provinces (mazandaran province, guilan province, golestan province, fars province, khoozestan province). according to food and agriculture organization statics, iran is the 3rd importer and 20th expo...

The purpose of this research is to examine the variations in productivity and trends Total Factor Productivity (TFP) major oilseeds grown state Andhra Pradesh, with a focus on Groundnut. study utilizes secondary data sources, including National Statistical Office (NSO) India Stat, analyze interpret using descriptive statistics, One-Factor ANOVA analysis, TFP calculations. findings indicate that...
