Previous papers on Singapore manufacturing productivity have focused almost exclusively on total factor productivity (TFP) growth rates and ignored the problem of measuring the extent of learning-by-doing. In this paper, we examine an alternative measure: the rate of technical efficiency change. Using data from 1974–1998, a translog production frontier is estimated. Following a conceptual framework popularised by Bauer (1990), productivity growth is decomposed into components arising from technical progress, technical efficiency change, a scale economies effect and an allocative inefficiency effect.
