Scale, Technological Change and Human Capital: Manufacturing and Development in Mexico

We estimate changes in aggregate manufacturing productivity in Mexican municipios for the period 1988-1993 in terms of changes in physical and human capital inputs, and changes in their returns. These estimates are fully interacted with the average municipal manufacturing scale, defined as workers per firm, and its rate of change, instrumented by industrial composition variables. We find that i...

Technological Progress , Structural Change and Productivity Growth in Manufacturing Sector of South Korea

This paper focuses on the impact of technology and structural change on the aggregate productivity growth in the manufacturing sector of South Korea, using the eight firm size classes over the period 1970–2000. The conventional shift-share analysis is used to measure the impact of shift of both labour and capital inputs. The results show that structural change on an average was conducive to pro...

Uncertainty and Technological Change

I would like to begin with two generally accepted propositions: First, technological change is a major ingredient of long-term economic growth, and second, technological change is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty. Understanding the nature of these uncertainties and the obstacles to surmounting them is not a trivial matter. Rather, it goes to the heart of how new technologies are de...
