Abstract

In this paper we discuss the Solow residual (Solow, Rev. Econ. Stat. 39:312–320, 1957) and how it has been interpreted and measured in the neoclassical production literature and in the complementary literature on productive efficiency. We point out why panel data are needed to measure productive efficiency and innovation and thus link the two strands of literatures. We provide a discussion on the various estimators used in the two literatures, focusing on one class of estimators in particular, the factor model. We evaluate in finite samples the performance of a particular factor model, the model of Kneip, Sickles, and Song (A New Panel Data Treatment for Heterogeneity in Time Trends, Econometric Theory, 2011), in identifying productive efficiencies. We also point out that the measurement of the two main sources of productivity growth, technical change and technical efficiency change, may be not be feasible in many empirical settings and that alternative survey based approaches offer advantages that have yet to be exploited in the productivity accounting literature.

Nächstes Kapitel Asymptotic Properties of Some Non-Parametric Hyperbolic Efficiency Estimators

Since cross-sectional data are used, the efficiencies estimated are typically conditional expectations, as it is mentioned in Simar and Wilson (2010).

We let \(\kappa = (1 - p)/p\) and chose p among a selected grid of 9 equally spaced values between 0.1 and 0.9 so that generalized cross-validation rule is minimized.

Although DGP1 consists of three different functions, [1, t, t ²], t ² term is dominating as T gets large. Thus a one dimensional model is sufficient to approximate the effects generated by DGP1.
