We also collect quality metrics to construct quality productivity (the …-dimensional productivity, or capability. As quality productivity is negatively correlated with TFPQ, TFPR may perform better at capturing …

The present study is a contribution to the theory of the measurement of productivity growth. First, it examines the … welfare-theoretic basis for measuring productivity growth and shows that the ideal welfare-theoretic measure is a chain index … of productivity growth rates of different sectors which uses current output weights. Second, it lays out a technique for …

We study the productivity-pay relationship in the United States and Canada along two dimensions. The first is … divergence: the degree to which the levels of productivity and pay have diverged.
