Our empirical results indicate that … world productivity growth was led by fast-growing newly emerging economies, whereas most developed countries experienced a … decrease in productivity growth. Technical efficiency change significantly contributed to economic growth for many fast …

We study the role of productivity convergence and financial conditions in the recent growth experience of Hungary. We … build a stochastic, small-open economy growth model with productivity convergence, capital accumulation and external … borrowing. Using empirically identified processes for productivity and the external interest premium, we simulate the effects of …
