Œis is a very interesting and provocative paper on an important topic. Growth in advanced economies of the world have seŠled into a tepid pace of 1%-2% a year associated with a decline in total factor and labor productivity over the past decade. It is imperative to understand the sources of low productivity growth and to evaluate what policies can rejuvenate growth. Œe potential growth rate of ...

UNLABELLED Type IV pili (Tfp) are expressed by many Gram-negative bacteria to promote aggregation, adhesion, internalization, twitching motility, or natural transformation. Tfp of Neisseria meningitidis, the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis, are involved in the colonization of human nasopharynx. After invasion of the bloodstream, Tfp allow adhesion of N. meningitidis to human endothe...

A divisia index of total factor productivity (TFP) growth is calculated for each of 16 regulated local telephone companies operating in Tennessee over the years 1989 through 1993. Year over year changes in TFP, in Tornqvist form, yield a growth in total factor productivity estimate for each company. These growth rates, however, contain the effects of both scale and technical change. Using the m...

abstract some agricultural fields of razevi and north khorasan provinces were sampled for identification and resistance to metalaxyl of pythium ultimum species isolates. isolation was done between years of 2007 to 2009. van der plaats- niterink key to species of pythium and specific its region of rdna were used for morphological and molecular identification respectively. micrometric characteris...

This paper reviews the recent empirical literature on long-run growth to determine what factors influence growth in total factor productivity (TFP) and whether there are any channels of influence that should be added to standard models of long-run growth. Factors affecting productivity fall into three general categories: physical capital, human capital, and innovation (including other factors t...

What accounts for income per capita and total factor productivity (TFP) differences across countries? We study resource misallocation heterogeneous production units in a general equilibrium model where establishment size are affected by policy distortions. solve the closed form show that distortions have substantial negative effect on growth, average size, aggregate productivity. Calibrating di...

There is an “export productivity paradox” in Chinese enterprises, which has been confirmed agricultural enterprises. This paper attempts to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of components TFP. uses SFA-Malmquist method decompose and compare TFP China’s export enterprises based on data state-level leading 2016 2017. The conclusions are as follows: firstly, shows a negative growth tren...

Different from the developmental mode of western developed countries, China’s economy has changed a stage high-speed growth to high-quality development, where people’s growing needs for better lives can be met, embodying this new concept development. The aim our study is evaluate development efficiency and total factor productivity (TFP) regional economies in China, explore characteristics spat...
