Total 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...
متن کاملTelecommunication Industry and Productivity Convergence in the Oecd Countries
The telecommunication industry appears one of the driving force of the new economy, which is characterized by the diffusion of, information and communication technologies and their applications. So, the analysis of the productivity evolution in the telecommunication industry, for different countries, is the first step to understand the productive patterns of the national economies. In particula...
متن کاملProductivity Change in the Telecommunications Industries of 13 OECD Countries
This paper focuses on the evolution of productivity in the telecommunications industries for 13 OECD countries over the period 1979-1998. It uses Data Envelopment Analysis, a non-parametric approach that allows decompositions of changes in productivity into variations in efficiency and technical change. Moreover, it tests the existence of convergence in labor and total factor productivity level...

متن کاملProductivity Convergence in OECD Manufacturing Industries
The extent of band s-convergence of average labor productivity across manufacturing industries in 18 OECD countries over the period 1972–1992 shows large inter-industry differences. One reason for these differences is knowledge and capital barriers preventing the occurrence of catch-up. We find the level of average labor productivity, as a proxy for these barriers, is correlated with the extent...
