Productivity Growth In The Calculation Method Of The System

Productivity growth is the foundmental resource of economic growth, and research on application methods of productivity growth is of great importance. There are tremendous amount of research on productivity, among which few is specialized in productivity growth measurement method from synthetic and systematic angle. Under such background, this paper aims at methods of productivity growth measurement. On base of all-round inspection about various productivity growth measurement methods, this paper studies these methods, which are based on different measurement ideas, puts them in order and classifies them, probes into and evaluates them. The paper also compares different methods, summarizes methodological system of productivity growth measurement, studies two aggregation paradoxes generally met in productivity measurement practice, discusses issues of ingregation of productivity growth measurement and SNA.Generally speaking, this paper pays attention to introduction of new materials, submittion of new viewpoints, conduction of new exploration from new angle, and study on methods of productivity growth measurement synthetically and systematically in conditon of perfect system.Concretely speaking, this paper consists of five chapters.The first chapter shows necessary background, importance and characteristics of this research, and reviews several pairs of relevant conceptions. This is the start-point of study on prodcutvity growth measurement methods.As the main part of the paper, Chapter Two to Chapter Five systematically studies methods of productivity growth measurement. According to background and ideas, mature degree of theory development and application in practice, productivity growth measurement methods may be clssified into Mainstream Methods, which is composed of Econometric Methods and Non-Parameters Methods, and Other Methods. In Chapter Two, we studies Econometric Methods, introduces Production Function Method and Stochastic Frontier Analysis Method, which are widely used in research and practice domestic and abroad, as well as Semi-Parameter Method and Instrument Variables Method, which are seldom used to measure productivity growth in China. Chapter Three is on Non-Parameter Methods. In this chapter, we studies Data Envolopment Analysis Method, Index Method, Frontier Analysis Method Based On Malquist Productivity Index, and Growth Accounting Method. Chapter Four studies Other Methods for productivity growth measurement, such as Ordinary Least Squares Method, Atomistic Method, Input-Output Method, Index System Factor Analysis Method, and Growth Curve Model Method. On base of probe into these methods, we give some supplement to predeseccers' research. Chapter Five stands in a higher angle, systematically studies methods of productivity growth measurement. It has three sections, which comparatively analysis method system of productivity growth measurement, studies productivity paradoxes, and probes into issues on ingragation of productivity growth measurement and SNA. This chapter is an indispensable part of methodological research on productivity growth measurment, as well as further summarization and sublimation for Chapter Two to Chater Four.
