Total factor productivity and the Mongolian transition

Chessa, Antonio G.; Schouwstra, Marije C. - 2005

Total Factor Productivity (TFP)is often used on the macro-economic level as an indicator of changes in efficiency of a country. In many transition economies TFP is seen to have been negative the last decade of the plan economy and starts increasing and become positive after a (quite a) few years...

Productivity convergence and economic growth : a frontier production function approach

Cornwell, Christopher Mark; Wächter, Jens-Uwe - 1999

The empirical growth literature has focused on capital accumulation but largely ignored productivity growth. To address this imbalance, we propose a methodology for analyzing productivity convergence based on frontier production functions. We examine whether departures from the frontier are...

Variable Selection and Functional Form Uncertainty in Cross-Country Growth Regressions

Salimans, Tim - 2011

Regression analyses of cross-country economic growth data are complicated by two main forms of model uncertainty: the uncertainty in selecting explanatory variables and the uncertainty in specifying the functional form of the regression function. Most discussions in the literature address these...

You can't always get what you want? : estimator choice and the speed of convergence

Kufenko, Vadim; Prettner, Klaus - 2016

We propose theory-based Monte Carlo simulations to quantify the extent to which the estimated speed of convergence depends on the underlying econometric techniques. Based on a theoretical growth model as the data generating process, we find that, given a true speed of convergence of around 5%,...
