Abstract

In an effort to understand the evolution of productivity growth across sectors and countries, this paper estimates total factor productivity (TFP) and TFP growth using a semiparametric method applied to 13 OECD countries, leveraging the EU KLEMS data at the industry level over the period 1995–2017. Although TFP growth is low for these countries, there are remarkably different growth experiences among countries and sectors mainly due to differences in agricultural and services sectors. I find that even within Europe, there are two “Europes.” Lastly, I test for β $\beta$ - and σ $\sigma$ -convergence across countries and sectors, and my results suggest that even if there are differences among countries and sectors, they succeed in some kind of convergence.

衡量不同国家和部门的生产率和趋同
为了了解各部门和国家生产率增长的演变,本文利用1995-2017年期间欧盟KLEMS行业层面的数据,采用半参数方法对13个经合组织国家的全要素生产率(TFP)和TFP增长进行了估算。尽管这些国家的全要素生产率增长较低,但由于农业和服务业的差异,不同国家和部门之间的增长经历存在显著差异。我发现即使在欧洲内部,也有两个“欧洲”。最后,我测试了β $\beta$ -和σ $\sigma$ -跨国家和部门的收敛,我的结果表明,即使国家和部门之间存在差异,它们也成功地实现了某种收敛。

期刊介绍: The Bulletin of Economic Research is an international journal publishing articles across the entire field of economics, econometrics and economic history. The Bulletin contains original theoretical, applied and empirical work which makes a substantial contribution to the subject and is of broad interest to economists. We welcome submissions in all fields and, with the Bulletin expanding in new areas, we particularly encourage submissions in the fields of experimental economics, financial econometrics and health economics. In addition to full-length articles the Bulletin publishes refereed shorter articles, notes and comments; authoritative survey articles in all areas of economics and special themed issues.
