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 …

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 …

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. The second is delinkage: the degree to which … incremental increases in the rate of productivity growth translate into incremental increases in the rate of growth of pay …
