Cím: The Global Financial Crisis: Efficiency, Technological innovation, Capital deepening, and Labor mobility
Absztrakt:
We employ a non-parametric production frontier approach to document the sources of productivity growth in 26 OECD countries. Our analysis utilizes data from 10 sectors during 2002-2014. The state of technology is sector specific but common across countries. Prior to the 2007-global financial crisis and during the subsequent recovery phase, technological progress and capital deepening emerged as the primary contributors to positive productivity growth. However, during the recession, technological progress was notably absent in several sectors, with the exception of information and communication technology, manufacturing, and real estate. Conversely, efficiency losses served as a hindrance to productivity growth.
