- Total Factor Productivity
- Total Factor Productivity TFP is the portion of output not explained by the amount of inputs used in production. As such, its level is determined by how e?ciently and intensely the inputs are utilized in production. TFP plays a critical role on economic fluctuations, economic growth and cross-country per capita...

- Barriers To Capital Accumulation And Aggregate Total Factor Productivity
- The author develops a growth model where a single good can be produced with a traditional and a modern technology. The traditional technology features low Total Factor Productivity TFP and a low share of reproducible capital. In this framework, barriers to capital accumulation affect technology use and therefore aggregate TFP....
