We use a firm production function approach to generate estimates of total factor productivity (TFP) and labor … productivity in the manufacturing sector for a group of Latin American countries. We exploit these estimates to study the relative … position of countries within this sector and to explore the main correlates of firm productivity. We find that while the exact …
