We compute rates of growth in labor productivity during the 1973-80 period for samples of individual manufacturing … contribution of such expenditures to productivity growth was about the same in both countries. Hence, the rather large differences … on the observed rates of productivity growth between the two countries can not be accounted for by differences in either …

Within-industry differences in measured plant-level productivity are large. A large literature has been devoted to … classification and regression trees. We use our imputations and the Bureau's imputations to estimate within-industry productivity … dispersions. The results suggest that there is more within-industry productivity dispersion than previous research has indicated …
