Growth Accounting in the Open Economy: An Array of Perspectives
ABSTRACT In this paper, we show how Törnqvist growth accounting in the open economy can be conducted from a number of different perspectives, depending on which input and output prices or quantities are chosen to be the explanatory factors. This approach offers a wide spectrum of decompositions, each one being potentially best suited to analyze ...
