过去二十年来,发展中国家的生产力停滞不前,全球的生产力也停滞不前,这就要求重新思考生产力的衡量、分析和政策。这本书在生产率分析的三个关键领域及其对生产率政策的影响方面提出了第二波思考。它质疑将扭曲作为生产率增长的主要障碍的衡量方法和相关性;敦促对企业业绩提出更广泛的概念,超越效率,提高质量和扩大需求;并探讨如何创造一个试验性和创新性的社会,在这样一个社会中,企业家具有发现新技术和管理创业生态系统风险的个人特征,这有助于他们这样做。它还回顾了围绕产业政策的争论。两位作者主张采用一种综合的生产率分析方法,既要减少经济扭曲,又要产生人力资本,以识别向跟随国提供的机会,并提升企业能力。最后,当诊断存在不确定性和政府能力有限时,它为确定政策的优先顺序提供了指导。
The stagnation of productivity in the developing world, and indeed, across the globe, over the last two decades dictates a rethinking of productivity measurement, analysis, and policy. This volume presents a 'second wave' of thinking in three key areas of productivity analysis and its implications for productivity policies. It calls into question the measurement and relevance of distortions as the primary barrier to productivity growth; urges a broader concept of firm performance that goes beyond efficiency to quality upgrading and demand expansion; and explores what it takes to generate an experimental and innovative society where entrepreneurs have the personal characteristics to identify new technologies and manage risk within an entrepreneurial ecosystem that facilitates them doing so. It also reviews arguments surrounding industrial policies. The authors argue for an integrated approach to productivity analysis that incorporates both the need to reduce economic distortions and generate the human capital capable of identifying the opportunities offered to follower countries and upgrade firm capabilities. Finally, it offers guidance on prioritizing policies when there is uncertainty around diagnostics and limited government capability.
