Technical change and total factor productivity growth for Chinese provinces : a panel data analysis

Shiu, Alice (contributor); Heshmati, Almas (contributor) - 2006

We present in this paper the panel econometrics estimation approach of measuring the technical change and total factor productivity (TFP) growth of 30 Chinese provinces during the period of 1993 to 2003. The random effects model with heteroscedastic variances has been used for the estimation of...
