Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research has developed theoretical models to estimate and identify total factor productivity and its factor determinants for the Japanese manufacturing industry. The research provides three different regression models that decompose productivity growth into technical progress and many other factors. Empirical results of the research provide various policy suggestions required to boost productivity growth for the Japanese economy. From the research, three papers are published in internationally refereed journal, along with one working paper. Working papers of the research had been presented at twelve international conferences.
