Technical Progress and Structural Change in the Swedish Cement Industry 1955 - 1979

چکیده
The purpose of this article is to provide a deeper empirical insight into the structural change of an industry which is more relevant than that obtained by an analysis based on the traditionally estimated average production function. The main contribution is a long run analysis of technical progress and structural change by means of the short-run industry production function introduced by Johansen, and based on micro data for individuaJ production units. For that purpose we have developed Johansens approach into an operational framework for discrete capacity d1strlbutions including a special algorithm for the computation of the short-run industry production function.

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...
