520 _aThis timely book explores the relationships between technological change, efficiency, productivity growth and performance. Focusing on the interplay among industries in modern economies, the essays in this volume combine pure theory and empirical applications to provide an input-output analysis of productivity growth that is both broad and in-depth. Thijs ten Raa and Edward N. Wolff lay out a conceptual framework for interrelating alternative productivity and performance measures, unifying input-output and productivity analyses and applying them to scenarios at both the national economy and industry levels. Topics discussed include growth accounting, international trade, outsourcing and productivity spillovers, labor and capital, and efficiency analysis. This fascinating volume offers some of the best work from two of the brightest and best-known minds in the field. Students, professors and researchers working in economic theory, international economics, labor economics and financial and monetary policy will find much of interest in this thoughtful and comprehensive book.
