INCENTIVE CONTRACTS AND TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY* [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, 2006
We propose a transactions cost theory of total factor productivity (TFP). In a world with asymmetric information and transactions costs, productivity must be induced by incentive schemes. Labor contracts trade off marginal benefits and costs of effort.

Total factor productivity: an unobserved components approach [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Economics, 2008
This work examines the presence of unobserved components in the time-series of total factor productivity (TFP), which is an idea central to modern Macroeconomics. The main approaches in both the study of economic growth and the study of business cycles rely on certain properties of the different components of the time-series of TFP.

Total Factor Productivity Growth When Factors of Production Generate Environmental Externalities [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
Total factor productivity growth (TFPG) has been traditionally associated with technological change. We show that when a factor of production, such as energy, generates an environmental externality in the form of CO₂ emissions which is not internalized because of lack of environmental policy, then TFPG estimates could be biased.

OUTPUT EXTERNALITIES ON TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY [PDF]

open access: yesMacroeconomic Dynamics, 2016
The impact that output has on future total factor productivity is not internalized by competitive agents. As a result, the allocation that a planner would choose cannot be reached as a competitive equilibrium outcome (neither for infinitely lived agents nor for overlapping generations): the market remuneration to capital and labor is too low.
