Estimation of Technical Change and TFP Growth based on Observable Technology Shifters
Heshmati, Almas; Rashidghalam, Masoomeh - 2017
This paper models and estimates total factor productivity (TFP) growth parametrically. The model is a generalization of the traditional production model where technology is represented by a time trend. TFP growth is decomposed into unobservable technical change, scale economies and observable...

Technical change and total factor productivity growth for Chinese provinces: a panel data analysis
Shiu, Alice; Heshmati, Almas - 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...

Technical change and total factor productivity growth: the case of Chinese provinces
Heshmati, Almas; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2010
In the literature technical change is mostly assumed to be exogenous and specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect technical change. In this paper we model technical change via time trend (purely external non-economic) as well as...
