Factors Of Production

The study analyses the longterm trend in knowledge diffusion and productivity growth in Nigeria, using a translog specification. The results indicate the need for technological upgrading and emphasized that policies designed to promote technological development should address the complementarities between ‘different factors of production. The article, thus, provides some support for the argument that total factor productivity (TFP), as a technological knowledge, can impact significantly on productivity in a developing economy like Nigeria.

From the perspective of agricultural cluster to explore network structure, knowledge spillovers, absorptive capacity for technical innovation of the agglomeration. Studies have shown that dense network structure will enhance the knowledge spillovers and promote the actual absorptive capacity of agriculture cluster members, absorptive capacity is conducive to the enhancement of knowledge diffusion, the network structure, knowledge spillovers and absorptive capacity is directly related to agricultural technology innovation.

This paper investigates the effects of R&D subsidies on aggregate product variety and endogenous productivity growth without scale effects. In a two-country model with imperfect knowledge diffusion, the larger country has a greater share of firms with higher productivity levels. The concentration of relatively productive firms increases knowledge flows between firms, causing an increase in firm-level employment in innovation. Accordingly, the aggregate growth rate is higher when counties are asymmetric than when they are similar in size. The larger scale of firm-level innovation activity reduces market entry, however, and aggregate product variety falls. In this framework, national R&D subsidies have positive effects on the industry share, relative productivity, and wage rate of the implementing country. If the smaller country introduces an R&D subsidy, aggregate product variety rises and productivity growth falls. If the larger country introduces an R&D subsidy, productivity growth rises, but aggregate product variety may rise or fall.

Total Labour

This study considers the influence of structural change on aggregate labour productivity growth of the Russian economy. The term "structural change" refers to labour reallocation both between industries and between formal and informal segments within an industry. Using Russia KLEMS and official Rosstat data we decompose aggregate labour productivity growth into intra-industry (within) and between industry effects with four alternative methods of the shift-share analysis. All methods provide consistent results and demonstrate that total labour reallocation has been growth enhancing though the informality expansion has had a negative effect. As our study suggests, it is caused by growing variation in productivity levels across industries.
