This paper provides an empirical analysis of energy- and labour-productivity convergence at a detailed sectoral level …-country variation in productivity performance depends on the level of aggregation. Both patterns of convergence as well as divergence … catch up with technological leaders, in particular in terms of energy productivity. Moreover, the results show that …

In contrast, structural changes only play a minor role in explaining macroeconomic labour-productivity developments. We …

We implement an endogeneous switching-regression model for labour productivity and firms' decision to use business …-to-business (B2B) e-commerce. Our approach allows B2B usage to affect any parameter of the labour productivity equation and to …-investment and produce significantly more efficiently than firms that do not use B2B. Firms' labour productivity is enhanced by using …

The distribution of labour productivity is investigated by analyzing the longitudinal micro-level data set which … function of the second kind is applied to explain the distribution. We calculate marginal labour productivity by using the … characterizing high productivity range and low productivity range, we show that inequality of low productivity range is larger than …

The distribution of labour productivity is investigated by analyzing the longitudinal micro-level data set which … that the distribution of labour productivity in both the high and low productivity ranges follows a power law distribution … explain the distribution of labour productivity. By comparing the power law exponents that characterize high and low …

Furthermore, we find labour-productivity growth to be higher on average than energy-productivity …
