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 کاملExplaining Economic Growth: Factor Accumulation, Total Factor Productivity Growth, and Production Efficiency Improvement
This paper examines cross-country patterns of economic growth by estimating a stochastic frontier production function for 80 developed and developing countries and decomposing output change into factor accumulation, total factor productivity growth, and production efficiency improvement. In addition, this paper incorporates the quality of inputs in analyzing output growth, where the productivit...
متن کاملEnvironmental Regulation and Productivity: Evidence from Oil Refineries
We examine the effect of air quality regulation on productivit y in some of the most heavily regulated manufacturing plants in the United States, the oil re neries of the Los Angeles (South Coast) Air Basin. We use direct measures of local air pollution regulation to estimate their effects on abatement investment. Re neries not subject to these regulations are used as a comparison group. We s...
متن کاملSoftware Quality and Productivity Improvement
For there to be order-of-magnitude improvements in the quality of software and the productivity of software development and evolution there needs to be a much more strategic approach to software engineering. Such an approach needs to place a balanced emphasis on both software products and software development processes. A set of factors that are likely to make the most significant contributions...
متن کامل1 Efficiency Improvement Techniques
This paper provides an overview of the five most commonly used statistical techniques for improving the efficiency of stochastic simulations: control variates, common random numbers, importance sampling, conditional Monte Carlo, and stratification. The paper also describes a mathematical framework for discussion of efficiency issues that quantifies the trade-off between lower variance and highe...
