Generation and Distribution of Total Factor Productivity Gains in US Industries
Boussemart, Jean-Philippe; Leleu, Hervé; Mensah, Edward - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2014
This study estimates productivity gains and their distribution among inputs and outputs for American industries over the period 1987-2011 using the traditional surplus accounting method. Total Factor Productivity (TFP) change is traditionally defined as the growth rate of output minus the growth...

Generation and distribution of productivity gains in French agriculture. Who are the winners and the losers over the last fifty years?
Boussemart, Jean-Philippe; Butault, Jean-Pierre; Ojo, … - IÉSEG School of Management, Université Catholique de Lille - 2012
This paper offers an approach based on the economic theory of index numbers that revisits the classical surplus accounting technique. We measure the productivity gains and the combined effects of output and input price variation on French farmers’ income between 1959 and 2011, for the whole...
