Driving factors of growth in Hungary - a decomposition exercise
Kátay, Gábor; Wolf, Zoltán - 2008
Applications tend to ignore that measured TFP reflects the variation of output that cannot be explained by changes in inputs. Such a change is not necessarily technological, so measured TFP differences across firms are an amalgam of technological, efficiency and other differences in attributes,...

Distorsiones regionales en la asignación de recursos y productividad de las manufacturas en México
Alanis, Pedro J. Martínez - In: Estudios Económicos 27 (2012) 1, pp. 3-59
This paper decomposes the regional effects of resource misallocation on aggregate total factor productivity (TFP), as a variant of the Hsieh and Klenow (2009a) model. Using establishment level data from the 2004 Mexican Economic Census, I calculate the potential regional TFP gains in...
