Abstract: | This study deals with modeling total factor productivity (TFP) growth in a flexible manner using panel data. Several competing parametric models are used to investigate whether there are similarities in the estimates of TFP growth and technical change among these models. The study decomposes TFP growth into different components, using a primal approach. The models are used to measure productivity and technical change in the Swedish cement industry. |
