a relatively robust growth of high-skill-specific productivity. Their GDP growth failed to reflect that because they … and their productivity. Recent work suggests that these calculations should treat workers of different skill levels as … imperfect substitutes. However, under this approach, it has been challenging to compute skill-specific productivity levels for a …

I estimate a Solow model augmented with human capital in 42 countries for 1910-2000. Estimated TFP growth is 0.3%/year …, and the steady-state rate for GDP/capita is 1.0% year. Implicitly for high-income countries maintaining growth above this …

finding is that manufacturing shows little evidence of either labor productivity or multifactor productivity convergence … convergence results, the paper introduces a new measure of multifactor productivity which avoids many problems inherent to … traditional measures of total factor productivity when comparing productivity levels. The lack of convergence in manufacturing is …

variability in income levels and their growth rates. We review estimates for a wide range of policy variables. In many cases, the … magnitude of the estimates is under debate. Estimates found by running cross-sectional growth regressions are sensitive to which …

We set up an endogenous growth model in which the efficiency of both capital and fossil energy can be improved, whereas … states: one stagnant where energy is fully derived from the alternative energy source, and one with balanced growth where …
