Title of Document: MANUFACTURING SECTOR PRODUCTIVITY IN INDIA: ALL INDIA TRENDS, REGIONAL PATTERNS, AND NETWORK EXTERNALITIES FROM INFRASTRUCTURE ON REGIONAL GROWTH Adil Mohommad Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Directed By: Professor Charles R. Hulten, Department of Economics In this dissertation I examine sources of growth in the formal manufacturing sector in India, from 1970 to 2003. I consider bo...

AIM To investigate the relationship between effective fentanyl sublingual spray (FSS) doses for breakthrough cancer pain (BTCP) and around-the-clock (ATC) transdermal fentanyl patch (TFP). METHODS Adults tolerating ATC opioids received open-label FSS for 26 days, followed by a 26-day double-blind phase for patients achieving an effective dose (100-1600 µg). RESULTS Out of 50 patients on ATC...

This paper presents and estimates a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model in which labor reallocations between production and organizational tasks and endogenous movements in measured TFP serve as an ampli…cation mechanism in business cycles. In our model, the organizational tasks are related to accumulation of organizational capital which enhances the …nancial relationships between …rms...

This paper presents an updated estimation of the total factor productivity (TFP) of the U.S. economy following the two preceding empirical studies, Basu et al. (2001) and Burnside et al. (1995). Based on these two estimation approaches, both of which carefully handle the potential estimation bias stemming from cyclical utilization, we veriÞed that the TFP growth in the late 90s was, to some ext...

• COF membranes with tailored pore size are designed through a de novo approach. Ultrathin and crystalline prepared. The transport mechanism membrane is studied systematically. Three truxene-based ?-ketoenamine (TFP-HETTA, TFP-HBTTA TFP-HHTTA) fabricated via monomer design approach to understand the fundamental correlations between structure molecular separation performance. By introducing bulk...

We explore the effects of planning regulation on the UK retail sector between 1997 and 2003 using microdata from the UK census. We document a shift to smaller shops following a 1996 regulatory change that increased the costs of opening large stores. Our analysis suggests that total factor productivity (TFP) of multi-store retail chains fell after the introduction of the reform due to the reduct...

This study compares the sources of growth in East Asia with the rest of the world, using a methodology that allows one to decompose total factor productivity (TFP) growth into technical efficiency changes (catching up) and technological progress. It applies a varying coefficients frontier production function model to aggregate data for the period 1970-1990, for a sample of 45 developed and deve...

Environmental problem is a worldwide focus, so as the effect of environmental regulation on economic. In this paper, we constructed a model including energy consumption and integrated pollutant emissions of "Three wastes" as "bad" output. This paper used Malmquist–Luenberger based on directional distance function to measure TFP and environmental regulation cost of Chinese 36 industries from 200...
