本文探索了一种相对较新的方法——定向距离函数法来分析生产率增长。该方法使我们能够明确地评估经济的不良产出，如二氧化碳和其他温室气体，对我们指定为分段线性和凸边界函数的前沿生产过程的作用。我们将生产率增长分解为效率变化（追赶）和技术变化（创新）。我们使用最近开发的自举方法检验估计的统计显著性。我们还探讨了经合组织和亚洲经济对全要素生产率增长的影响。版权所有：John Wiley Sons， Ltd. 2004
This paper explores a relatively new methodology, the directional distance function method, to analyse productivity growth. The method allows us to explicitly evaluate the role that undesirable outputs of the economy, such as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, have on the frontier production process which we specify as a piecewise linear and convex boundary function. We decompose productivity growth into efficiency change (catching up) and technology change (innovation). We test the statistical significance of the estimates using recently developed bootstrap methods. We also explore implications for growth of total factor productivity in the OECD and Asian economics.
