Mapping Prices into Productivity in Multisector Growth Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two issues related to mapping a multi-sector model into a reduced-form value-added model are often neglected: the composition of intermediate goods, and the distinction between value added productivity and gross output productivity. We demonstrate their quantitative significance for the case of the well known model of Greenwood, Hercowitz and Krusell (1997), who find that about 60% of economic growth can be attributed to investment-specific technical change (ISTC). When we recalibrate their model to allow for even a small equipment share of intermediates, we find that ISTC accounts for almost the entirety of postwar US growth. JEL Codes: E13, O30, O41, O47

Groundwater resource is a very important water resource that has stable temperature, clear, tidy and confident. In recent years, population growth, industrialize and need to food and water, have exposed the groundwater resource on the risk. Reduction of water resources is a main problem in throughout the world. In this research groundwater potential mapping was obtained in Norabad plain, Lorest...
متن کاملSome Results on the Uniqueness of Steady States in Multisector Models of Optimum Growth When Future Utilities Are Discounted*
IT IS WELL KNOWN that in multisector models of optimal growth that optimal paths converge to a unique steady state when future utilities are not discounted. See Gale [8], McKenzie [18], and Brock [3] for results of this type. Then Sutherland [32], in the case when future utilities are discounted, produced examples of multiple steady states in Gale's [8] model. Thus the qualitative behavior of o...
متن کاملResearch and Productivity Growth Across Industries ∗
What factors underlie industry differences in research intensity and productivity growth? We develop a multisector growth model using standard parameters to capture the main factors considered in the empirical R&D and productivity growth literature. Along the balanced growth path, we find that the primary factor behind industry differences in productivity growth is the extent to which new knowl...
متن کاملInvestigating Asymmetry of Prices and Productivity of Energy Carriers in Iran’s Agricultural Sector
Energy carriers are one of the most important inputs in the agricultural sector. These inputs have been the foundation of the development and transition of the agricultural sector from the traditional stage to the industrial stage. The energy per capita marginal consumption in Iran’s agricultural sector is 3.2 times greater than its global average. Therefore, it is essential to save and optimal...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of efficiency change and productivity growth in Supply Chain Management
The performance of a supply chain can be evaluated in either a cross-sectional or a time series manner, and data envelopment analysis is a useful method for both types of evaluation. In this paper we develop an index and indicator of productivity change that can be used with radial and non-radial models for supply chain malmquist index. The supply chain malmquist productivity index (SCMPI) can ...
