摘要: This article uses data from 11 countries for 19 years to investigate the forces driving output change in 6 manufacturing sectors. A flexible model is adopted that allows decomposition of changes into three types change: technical, efficiency, and input. framework allows, among other things, investigation (1) relative roles components growth each sector, (2) manner which efficiency moves over business cycle, (3) potential technical spillovers one sector another.
