拉丁美洲和加勒比地区（LAC）的大多数国家长期以来一直增长缓慢，并且认为自己相对于世界其他地区（无论是发达国家还是其他地区的同类国家）仍然贫穷。生产率低下和生产率增长不足，而不是要素积累的障碍，是理解拉美和加勒比地区相对于发达经济体的低收入以及相对于其他正在追赶的发展中国家的停滞的关键。 Daude 和 Fernandez-Arias (2010) 计算了不同国家的全要素生产率 (TFP) 指标，并表明 TFP 是拉丁美洲和加勒比地区发展缓慢的主要驱动力。该数据库提供了截至 2010 年更新的 TFP 衡量标准以及用于计算它的输入数据和其他生产率衡量标准。
Most countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have been growing slowly for a long time and see themselves still poor relative to the rest of the world, both advanced countries and peer countries in other regions. Low productivity and insufficient productivity growth, as opposed to impediments to factor accumulation, is the key to understanding LAC’s low income relative to developed economies and its stagnation relative to other developing countries that are catching up. Daude and Fernandez-Arias (2010) calculate measures of total factor productivity (TFP) for a cross section of countries and show that TFP is the principal driver of the slow development of LAC. This database provides this measure of TFP updated until 2010 along with the inputs used to calculate it and other measures of productivity.
