A framework for estimating the effects of imported

intermediate inputs on U.S. major-sector labor productivity

is used together with the Solow multifactor productivity

equation to show that private business sector multifactor

productivity may have grown about 0.1 percent

more slowly than what the BLS published series indicates

Michael J. Harper, Bhavani Khandrika, Randal Kinoshita, and Steven Rosenthal

[full-text, 23 pages]

 

Rankings of manufacturing industries based on employers’ labor costs

for production workers changed very little from 1975 to 2007

and also did not tend to differ much from country to country;

however, trends in the range and dispersion of labor costs

have varied substantially across countries
