International Productivity Differences: Measurement and Explanations (Contributions to Economic Analysis) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A collection of nine papers measuring and explaining productivity among industrial and service sectors of the European, East European, Japanese, and US markets. The contributors use statistical comparisons of growth rates and relative levels, and productivity case studies to outline the productivity differences at the macro, meso, and micro levels, comparing capital intensity and growth, training and management, product quality, globalization and competition. The discussions highlight research in the "catch-up and convergence process," the impact of technology diffusion, and transfer pricing and foreign ownership. Most of these papers were originally presented at a Science Center conference in Berlin, November 1993. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
