STRUCTURE AND PERFORMANCE OF THE UK FOOD AND DRINK INDUSTRIES
分析了英国食品饮料行业的结构特征，发现其虽属低技术密集型制造业，但具备产品差异化、多元化及广告密集等特征，并通过规模扩张、资本积累和裁员实现了劳动与全要素生产率的超平均增长。
This paper analyses the structural characteristics of the food and drink industries and assesses their recent economic performance. Although classified among the less technologically intensive group of British manufacturing industries, the food and drink industries are found to share many of the features of the more technologically intensive group, such as product differentiation, product diversification and advertising intensity. They are also found to have achieved above‐average growth in labour and total factor productivity through expansion in size, capital accumulation and shedding of labour.
