Productivity Dynamics

Italy's economic growth over its 150 years of unified history did not occur at a steady pace, nor was it balanced across sectors. Relying on an entirely new input (labor and capital) database, this chapter evaluates the different labor productivity growth trends within the Italian economy's sectors, as well as the contribution of structural change to productivity growth. Italy's performance is then set in an international context: a comparison of sectoral labor productivity growth rates and levels within a selected sample of countries (United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Japan, India) allows us to better time, quantify, and gauge the causes of Italy's catching-up process and subsequent more recent slowdown. Finally, the paper analyzes the proximate sources of Italy's growth, relative to the other countries, in a standard growth accounting framework, in an attempt also to disentangle the contribution of both total factor productivity growth and capital deepening to the country's labor productivity dynamics.

Growth Quality

In 1990s, the economic growth rate of Vietnam reached a high level and was stable. The labor productivity growth is one of the most important indicators of economic growth quality. Using shift-share analysis approach on data obtained from GSO and worldbank, the authors find that the quality of the labor productivity growth depends on within-sector effect in Vietnam economy. However, the quality of labor productivity growth has been low in recent years. We therefore offer suggestions to improve the quality of labor productivity growth based on enhancing capital - technology intensive.

The paper considers necessary conditions for acceleration of labor productivity growth in Russia. Based on micro data, as well as aggregate data, the paper quantifies the contribution of small and medium firms to labor productivity growth. It shows that mere increase of the number of small and medium enterprises is not as important for positive effects of these programs, as qualitative improvements: development of favorable environment for growth, which is largely determined by business climate. Accelerating productivity growth involves redistribution of labor and capital from inefficient to efficient enterprises. In particular, it is necessary to create conditions, which allow a firm to grow after it enters the market instead of stagnating as a small firm with low efficiency. At the same time, it is necessary for ineffective firms, which exhausted their growth potential, to have an opportunity to exit the market easily leaving resources including labor to fast-growing companies.

We examine the contribution to labor productivity growth in the manufacturing sector of investment in different intangible asset categories—computerized information, innovative property, and economic competencies—for a set of 18 European countries between 1995 and 2017, as well as whether this contribution varies between different groups of countries. The motivation is to go a step further and identify which single or combination of intangible assets are relevant. The main findings can be summarized as follows. Firstly, all the three different categories of intangible assets contribute to labor productivity growth. In particular, intangible assets related to economic competences together with innovative property assets have been identified as the main drivers; specifically, advertising and marketing, organizational capital, research and development (R&D) investment, and design. Secondly, splitting the sample of European Union (EU) member states into three groups—northern, central and southern Europe—allows for the identification of a significant differentiated behavior between and within groups, in terms of the effects of investment in intangible assets on labor productivity growth. We conclude that measures promoting investment in intangibles at EU level should be accompanied by specific measures focusing on each country’s needs, for the purpose of promoting labor productivity growth. The obtained evidence suggests that the solution for the innovation deficit of some European economies consist not only of raising R&D expenditure, but also exploiting complementarities between different types of assets.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop the theoretical linkage between culture and economic growth and empirically test the relationship by measuring culture and how it affects labor productivity. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a cross-section study of developing countries and regresses economic productivity growth on a set of control variables and cultural factors. Findings It is found that three cultural factors, economic attitudes, political attitudes, and attitudes towards the family, affect economic productivity growth. Originality/value Many economists ignore culture as a factor in economic growth, either because they discount the value of culture or because they have no simple way to quantify culture, resulting in the role of culture being under-researched. The study is the first to extensively examine the role of culture in productivity growth using large-scale data sources. The authors show that culture plays an important role in productivity gains across countries, contributing to the study of the effects of culture on economic development, and that culture can be empirically measured and linked to an activity that directly affects the economic growth – labor productivity.

The article critically examines the positive and negative consequences of labor productivity growth at mining enterprises in the conditions of the old industrial region. It is suggested that for enterprises of the middle Urals it is necessary to form a mining production development strategy based on the directions of the regional strategy, which is not always connected with labor productivity growth by increasing mining volumes. The article is aimed at studying the factors affecting the prospects of mining enterprises activity from the standpoint of choosing strategic alternatives to their development. The methods of analysis: logical analysis, structural analysis, logical modeling, literature analysis. Using the logical modeling method, the following hypothesis was verified: that mining enterprises strategic development features in the conditions of an old industrial region should consider the strategy of municipalities in which these enterprises are located. For such mining enterprises, the increase in productivity through increased production is not unequivocally positive. It is concluded that in order to ensure the activities coherence of regions and enterprises, it is necessary to ensure balanced development, which can be achieved through the application of a managed strategy attenuation of the mining enterprise.

This paper reviews Pakistan’s productivity performance over the last 35 years (1980–2015) and identifies factors that help explain the declining trend in labor productivity and total factor productivity (TFP), both of which could have served as major drivers of productivity growth – as happened in East Asia and more recently in India. A key finding is that the maximum TFP gains and their contribution to economic growth are realized during periods of high-output growth. The lack of sustained growth and low and declining levels of investment appear to be the most important causes of the low contribution of TFP to productivity growth, which has now reached levels that should be of major concern to policymakers vis-à-vis Pakistan’s growth prospects.

Domestic Enterprise

The modern strategy of economic development of Russia, which is aimed at restructuring the economy, requires, first of all, the search for new and improvement of existing ways of increasing labor productivity at any domestic enterprise. That is why the issues of creating effective motives and incentives for increasing labor productivity as an important tool for the development of an industrial enterprise are relevant.
