Sectoral energy- and labour-productivity convergence

Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2004

This paper provides an empirical analysis of energy- and labour-productivity convergence at a detailed sectoral level for 14 OECD countries, covering the period 1970-1997. A fã-convergence analysis shows that the development of cross-country variation in productivity performance depends on the...
