Productivity Dynamics and Japan's Economic Growth: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Financial Statements Statistics of Corporations by Industry
利用1982-2008年日本企业级数据，分析了制造业与非制造业的全要素生产率趋势，发现非制造业生产率增长低于制造业，且两部门均存在生产率分散与持续差异。
Using unique Japanese firm-level data from the Financial Statements Statistics of Corporations by Industry for 1982-2008, we observed TFP trends in both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries. Our results can be summarized as follows. First, TFP growth in the non-manufacturing industry was lower than that of the manufacturing industry. Second, there was productivity dispersion and it persists in both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries. Third, our results, which are based on productivity dynamics, show that the acceleration of TFP growth rate mainly occurred in the manufacturing industry.
