Technical Change and Factor Bias in Polish Industry (1962-1983)
利用新生成的西方资本数据，调整了产能利用率，估计了波兰工业的技术变革趋势和要素偏向，发现技术变革并未增长，且仅在两个行业中使用西方资本，暗示政府资源分配不当。
This paper provides improved estimates of technological change and the first estimates of factor bias in Polish industry. The analysis uses newly generated data on Western capital (the factor assumed responsible for technical change), adjusts capital for capacity utilization, and tests for more complex specifications of the production function. The major findings are (1) the trend in technical change was nonincreasing over the period and technological change was Western-capital-using in only two industries (suggesting the government misallocated resources), and (2) technical change was nonneutral in six of the eight industries (suggesting the existing literature suffers from misspecification).
