total factor productivity growth, technical change and technical efficiency change in asian economies: decomposition analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 indicates that in 75 % of these economies, the role of technical change in productivity growth is negative. only in 11 countries technical change had a positive role in productivity growth. the growth of tfp shows that japan has the highest productivity growth (2.55 %) and saudi arabia, korea and hong kong are located in subsequent positions. furthermore, due to the lowest technical progress, newly independent countries, such as armenia, azerbaijan, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, tajikistan, turkmenistan and uzbekistan have the slowest tfp growth.

متن کاملTechnical Change and Efficiency of Rice Production in India: A Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Approach
This paper has studied the trends in the total factor productivity (TFP) growth of rice in India for the period 1980-81 to 2009-10 and has decomposed the TFP growth into its constituent components, viz. change in technical progress and technical efficiency. The study has used Malmquist Productivity Index approach through data envelopment analysis to estimate the TFP. The analysis has also been ...
متن کاملTechnical Efficiency and Productivity Analysis in Indonesian Provincial Economies
By using the stochastic frontier methodology, this study investigates the technical efficiency and total factor productivity (TFP) growth in Indonesian provincial economies during the period from 1993 to 2000. In addition to the estimation of provincial technical efficiency, factors that contribute to technical inefficiency are also examined and the TFP growth is decomposed into technological p...
متن کاملTechnical Efficiency, Technological Change and Total Factor Productivity Growth in Chinese State-Owned Enterprises in the Early 1990s
Based on a framework proposed by Battese and Coelli (1995), we estimated the stochastic frontier production function for four Chinese industries: building materials, chemicals, machinery and textiles during 1990–1994. The type of technological change is tested and total factor productivity (TFP) growth is calculated for each industry. We found no evidence of technological change in the building...
متن کاملTechnical Change and Total Factor Productivity Growth: The Case of Chinese Provinces
Technical Change and Total Factor Productivity Growth: The Case of Chinese Provinces In the literature technical change is mostly assumed to be exogenous and specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect technical change. In this paper we model technical change via time trend (purely external non-economic) as well as other exogenous (e...
