  • 演講摘要 : This paper provides a new methodology to measure the total factor productivity（TFP）of an economy. The major conclusions are as follows：(1) Ignoring the effect of industrial structural changes will underestimated the TFP growth of the whole economy of Taiwan by 23.23 percent during 1961-80, while it will overestimate the TFP growth by 23.94 percent during 1980-99； (2) the factors that explain the effect of industrial structural changes during 1970-99 include government industrial policies and liberalization policies；and (3) the Krugman-Kim-Lau-Young ‘input-driven growth’ hypothesis for the NIEs is without basis, not only in this study and Liang (2002) but also in that of Young (1994b).
