An econometric approach to measuring productivity: Australia as a case study

Agbenyegah, Benjamin K. - 2007

Seminal papers of Solow (1957) and Swan (1956) stimulated debate among economists on the role of technical change in productivity improvements and for that matter economic growth. The consensus is that technological change accounts for a significant proportion of gross national product (GNP)...

Employment Determination with Variable Productivity

Jackson, William A. - In: British Review of Economic Issues 12 (1990) 28, pp. 53-65

A macroeconomic model can depict employment only if it includes an account of the organisation of production. Keynes and many Keynesian writers have retained a neoclassical view of production, with fixed, technically efficient production functions; such a view is restrictive and neglects the...

Structural Change in Production Networks and Economic Growth

Gaggl, Paul; Gorry, Aspen; vom Lehn, Christian - 2023

This paper studies structural change in production networks for intermediate inputs (input-output network) and new capital (investment network). For each network, we document a declining fraction of production by goods sectors and a rising fraction of production by services sectors. We develop a...

Effects of inefficiency on marginal costs, degree of economies of scale and technical change: A theoretical relationship

Díaz-Hernández, Juan José; Martínez-Budría, Eduardo; … - In: Revista de Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y … 29 (2020), pp. 190-207

In this paper, a theoretical relationship is obtained to measure the effect that inefficiency has on marginal costs, degree of economies of scale and technical change. It is shown that when the relationship between inefficiency and output level is ignored, the estimation of marginal costs and...

Green innovations and organizational change: Making better use of environmental technology

Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha; Veugelers, Reinhilde - 2012

The literature on within-firm organizational change and productivity suggests that firms can make more efficient use of certain technologies if complementary forms of organization are adopted. This issue may be of even greater importance for the case of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement...

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...

Distribution and Growth in an Economy with Limited Needs

Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2001

This paper studies a model of the distribution of income under bounded needs. Utility derived from any given good reaches a bliss point at a finite consumption level of that good. On the other hand, introducing new varieties always increases utility. It is assumed that each variety is owned by a...

Technical Change and Unemployment: Policy Responses and Distributional Considerations

Moutos, Thomas; Scarth, William - 2002

We analyze some macroeconomic implications that follow from the fact that people tend to consume higher-quality goods as their incomes rise. The model involves two sectors: one producing a homogeneous good and the other producing a product with variable levels of quality. Both sectors use...
