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...

Organisational change and the productivity effects of green technology adoption
Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha; Veugelers, Reinhilde - 2016 - This version January 2016
This study investigates induced productivity effects of firms introducing new environmental technologies. The literature on within-firm organisational change and productivity suggests that firms can achieve higher productivity gains from adopting new technologies if they adapt their...

The Diffusion of Technological Progress in ICT
Elstner, Steffen; Grimme, Christian; Kecht, Valentin; … - 2021
We study whether technology gains in sectors related to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) increase productivity in the rest of the economy. To separate exogenous gains in ICT from other technological progress, we use the relative price of ICT goods and services in a structural VAR...

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 …

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...
