Book Synopsis Global Productivity by : Alistair Dieppe
Download or read book Global Productivity written by Alistair Dieppe and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic struck the global economy after a decade that featured a broad-based slowdown in productivity growth. Global Productivity: Trends, Drivers, and Policies presents the first comprehensive analysis of the evolution and drivers of productivity growth, examines the effects of COVID-19 on productivity, and discusses a wide range of policies needed to rekindle productivity growth. The book also provides a far-reaching data set of multiple measures of productivity for up to 164 advanced economies and emerging market and developing economies, and it introduces a new sectoral database of productivity. The World Bank has created an extraordinary book on productivity, covering a large group of countries and using a wide variety of data sources. There is an emphasis on emerging and developing economies, whereas the prior literature has concentrated on developed economies. The book seeks to understand growth patterns and quantify the role of (among other things) the reallocation of factors, technological change, and the impact of natural disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is must-reading for specialists in emerging economies but also provides deep insights for anyone interested in economic growth and productivity. Martin Neil Baily Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution Former Chair, U.S. President’s Council of Economic Advisers This is an important book at a critical time. As the book notes, global productivity growth had already been slowing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and collapses with the pandemic. If we want an effective recovery, we have to understand what was driving these long-run trends. The book presents a novel global approach to examining the levels, growth rates, and drivers of productivity growth. For anyone wanting to understand or influence productivity growth, this is an essential read. Nicholas Bloom William D. Eberle Professor of Economics, Stanford University The COVID-19 pandemic hit a global economy that was already struggling with an adverse pre-existing condition—slow productivity growth. This extraordinarily valuable and timely book brings considerable new evidence that shows the broad-based, long-standing nature of the slowdown. It is comprehensive, with an exceptional focus on emerging market and developing economies. Importantly, it shows how severe disasters (of which COVID-19 is just the latest) typically harm productivity. There are no silver bullets, but the book suggests sensible strategies to improve growth prospects.

Book Synopsis New Developments in Productivity Analysis by : Charles R. Hulten
Download or read book New Developments in Productivity Analysis written by Charles R. Hulten and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The productivity slowdown of the 1970s and 1980s and the resumption of productivity growth in the 1990s have provoked controversy among policymakers and researchers. Economists have been forced to reexamine fundamental questions of measurement technique. Some researchers argue that econometric approaches to productivity measurement usefully address shortcomings of the dominant index number techniques while others maintain that current productivity statistics underreport damage to the environment. In this book, the contributors propose innovative approaches to these issues. The result is a state-of-the-art exposition of contemporary productivity analysis. Charles R. Hulten is professor of economics at the University of Maryland. He has been a senior research associate at the Urban Institute and is chair of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Michael Harper is chief of the Division of Productivity Research at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Edwin R. Dean, formerly associate commissioner for Productivity and Technology at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is adjunct professor of economics at The George Washington University.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Services industries account for almost three-quarters of both gross domestic product and employment in Canada, a trend that Canada shares with other G-7 countries. Furthermore, the services sector has been responsible for most of Canada's employment creation and much of its productivity growth over the past decade and the sector's importance to the Canadian economy continues to increase. Thirty renowned experts contribute to this volume, which is aimed at better understanding the dynamics of Canadian services industries and identifying the types of policies most likely to improve their innovation and productivity performance.

Book Synopsis FDI, Absorptive Capacity, and Productivity Growth by : Yanling Wang
Download or read book FDI, Absorptive Capacity, and Productivity Growth written by Yanling Wang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on total factor productivity growth in Canadian manufacturing industries. In contrast with most previous studies, this paper focuses on the spillover effects of FDI taking place through inter-industry linkages and studies the role of absorptive capacity in enhancing the productivity benefits of FDI. Our main findings are: (i) FDI generates strong and positive spillover effects on TFP growth through both backward and forward linkages; (ii) the absorptive capacity in downward stream industries enhances the positive spillover effects of FDI on productivity growth; (iii) research and development (R&D) stocks and the wage share of high-skilled workers are positively correlated with productivity growth across industries; and (iv) imports raises productivity growth in R&D-intensive industries.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the multi-factor productivity gap between Canadian- and foreign-controlled manufacturing companies. The paper examines firm-level data to attempt to answer the following important research questions: whether foreign-controlled manufacturing firms are more (or less) productive than Canadian-controlled firms; whether the productivity gap widened or narrowed in the 1990s; and the factors that explain or do not explain the difference in productivity performance. Factors examined include labour quality, degree of unionization, and firm size.

It shows that Canada's situation has been slipping relative to that of its trading partners, and that this jeopardizes future living standards. It describes the feedback between the micro world of management and labour and the macro world of inflation and exchange rates.
Book Synopsis Essays on Canada-US Productivity in Manufacturing by : Jiang Li
Download or read book Essays on Canada-US Productivity in Manufacturing written by Jiang Li and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada and the US are highly integrated economies and yet persistent productivity gaps exist between them. This raises the question whether there is a relationship in productivity between Canada and the US, and if so, what industry-specific characteristics are important. This dissertation focuses on the manufacturing sector and its component three-digit industries. The first chapter investigates the interdependence of labour productivity (LP) between the two countries. It finds no evidence of long-run convergence of US and Canadian LP. There is, however, some evidence of short-run dependence within industries. Regarding industry characteristics, only industry-specific export intensity is found to be an important channel for the long-run productivity transmission.The second chapter develops measures of total factor productivity (TFP) that are comparable across Canada and the US. The third chapter investigates the interdependence of TFP between the countries. As with LP, there is no evidence of long-run convergence. In both the short and long run, the dependence of Canadian manufacturing industries upon their US counterparts is limited and non-uniform. The fourth chapter examines industry-specific characteristics. Export, import and foreign direct investment (FDI) intensities are found to be important channels in the short run for technology diffusion from the US. Surprisingly, a higher research and development intensity reduces short-run technology diffusion. In the long run, export and FDI intensities are shown to contribute to technology diffusion.
Book Synopsis Multinationals and Reallocation by : Wulong Gu
Download or read book Multinationals and Reallocation written by Wulong Gu and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The paper examines the role of multinationals and reallocation in productivity growth in the Canadian manufacturing sector for the period from 2001 to 2010, a period of significant change in this sector. It finds that foreign-controlled enterprises were more important than domestically controlled enterprises in overall labour productivity growth for this period, but that their contribution declined after 2006 because of an increase in the exits of large and productive foreign-controlled firms in that period. Restructuring in the manufacturing sector intensified after 2006. During that period, there was an increase in reallocation toward enterprises that are more productive, as well as an increase in reallocation of labour toward industries that are more capital and intermediate input intensive. The effect of new enterprises displacing exiters also increased after 2006, mostly because of the increased effect of domestic entrants displacing exiters, while the effect of foreign entry and exit declined. Offsetting the positive effects of reallocation on labour productivity growth is the effect of reallocation of labour toward the firms with lower relative capital and intermediate intensities within the same industries, which contributed negatively to aggregate input deepening and aggregate labour productivity growth. Overall, the paper finds that the decline in labour productivity growth after 2006 was mostly due to a decline in labour productivity growth within domestically controlled enterprises. There were some sizeable reallocation effects, such as the negative effect of the exit of large and productive foreign-controlled enterprises, but this was offset by aspects of reallocation that had a positive impact on productivity growth."--Abstract.
