Structural Change in Advanced Nations: A New Set of Stylised Facts*
研究了1980年以来欧盟、日本和美国服务业内部异质性,发现个人、金融和商业服务业生产率增长低且就业和GDP份额上升,而分配服务业份额稳定且生产率增长快;同时劳动份额下降,ICT资本和技能劳动力使用增加。
Abstract We provide new evidence on patterns of structural change in advanced economies, reconsidering the stylised facts put forward by Kaldor (1963) , Kuznets (1971) , and Maddison (1980) . Since 1980, the services sector has overwhelmingly predominated in the economic activity of the European Union, Japan, and the US, but there is substantial heterogeneity among services. Personal, finance, and business services have low productivity growth and increasing shares in employment and GDP. By contrast, shares of distribution services are constant, and productivity growth is rapid. We find that the labour share in value‐added is declining, while the use of ICT capital and skilled labour is increasing in all sectors and regions.
