The aim of this paper is to analyse the possible trade-off between employment and productivity using panel data on … world economies, developed and developing. We begin with the importance of productivity growth for developing countries …, followed by a brief discussion of the concept of productivity and how it is measured. We discuss the concept of "decent work …

-born by skill level. Specifically, after introducing migration in an augmented Solow-Swan model, we estimate a dynamic panel … model using a system of generalized method of moments (SYS-GMM) to deal with the risk of an endogeneity bias of the …

We present in this paper the panel econometrics estimation approach of measuring the technical change and total factor … productivity (TFP) growth of 30 Chinese provinces during the period of 1993 to 2003. The random effects model with heteroscedastic … variances has been used for the estimation of the translog production functions. Two alternative formulations of technical …

Since little is known about the degree of bias in estimated fixed effects in panel data models, we run Monte Carlo … simulations on a range of different estimators. We find that Anderson-Hsiao IV, Kiviet’s bias-corrected LSDV and GMM estimators …

aggregate productivity growth during the socialist and reform periods in six transition economies. Modifying a standard … decomposition technique to better reflect the role of firm entry, we find that reallocation rates and productivity contributions are … very low under socialism. After reforms, they rise dramatically, and productivity contributions greatly exceed those …

we use data on market sector productivity, R&D and non-R&D intangible assets, and public sector R&D spending. We look for … civil or defence R&D. Our findings tentatively suggest that for maximum market sector productivity impact government …
