According to unpublished data compiled by BLS, productivity in the construction industry reached a peak in 1968 and … this productivity decline between 1968 and 1978 by estimating a production function to assign weights to various factors … responsible for productivity change and deriving a new price deflator for construction which does not rely on labor or material …

The present study analyzes the "productivity slowdown" of the 1970s. The study also develops a new data set … -- industrial data available back to 1948 -- as well as a new set of tools for decomposing changes in productivity growth. The major … result of this study is that the productivity slowdown of the 1970s has survived three decades of scrutiny, conceptual …

of climate change on sectoral reallocation and aggregate productivity. First, I use firm-level data from a wide range of … countries to estimate the effect of temperature on productivity in manufacturing and services. Estimates suggest that extreme … heat reduces non-agricultural productivity, but less so than in agriculture, implying that hot countries could adapt to …

The second is that the increased dispersion in wages and productivity across … productivity dispersion have increased substantially over the last few decades, and (4) a substantial fraction of the rising … dispersion in wages and productivity is accounted for by increasing wage and productivity differentials across high and low …

We estimate the rate of total factor productivity growth in Indian manufacturing industry for the period 1973-1992, and … it ignores the additional capital formation made possible by an increase in productivity and therefore understates … productivity's true importance. Our estimates suggest that the understatement may be quite large, and that one might better ask if …

productivity of the targeted industries and regions grew significantly faster than those of non-targeted ones. While the plant …-level total factor productivity also grew faster in targeted industries and regions, the misallocation of resources within them … got significantly worse, especially among the entrants, so that the total factor productivity at the industry-region level …
