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...

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 unobservable technical change, scale economies and observable...
