Productivity with General Indices ofManagement and Technical Change
Triebs, Thomas; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2012
We propose a model of production where technical change is both time and management induced. We define a general management index in addition to the general time index of Baltagi and Griffin (1988) and use them as arguments in the translog productionfunction. Time and management induced...

A general model of technical change with an application to the OECD countries
Heshmati, Almas; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2011
In the neoclassical production functions model technical change (TC) is assumed to be exogenous and it is specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect the rate of TC. In this paper we model TC via a combination of time trend (purely...

Estimation of technical change and TFP growth based on observable technology shifters
Heshmati, Almas; Rashidghalam, Masoomeh - 2016
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 … exogenous growth factors are used in modeling four technology shifter indices to explore development infrastructure, finances …

Techies and Firm Level Productivity
Harrigan, James; Reshef, Ariell; Toubal, Farid - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We study the impact of techies--engineers and other technically trained workers--on firm-level productivity. We first report new facts on the role of techies in the firm by using French administrative data and unique surveys. Techies are STEM-skill intensive and are associated with innovation,...

Skill Biased Technological and Organizational Change: Estimating a Mixed Simultaneous Equation Model Using the IAB Establishment Panel
Hujer, Reinhard; Caliendo, Marco; Radić, Dubravko - 2002
Recent years have brought growing evidence for an increasing labour demand for high skilled and a deterioration of the labour position of less skilled employees. The two most common explanations for this finding are an increasing international trade and a skill biased technological change....

The bias of technological change in Europe
Vogel, Johanna; Kratena, Kurt; Hranyai, Kathrin - 2015
This paper is concerned with measuring and influencing the direction of technological change. First, it provides a comprehensive assessment of the factor bias of technological change using panel data from the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) for 25 EU countries from 1995 to 2009. We measure...
