Latin America: Total factor productivity and its components

This article applies the stochastic-frontier model to examine total factor productivity (tfp) and its components in Latin America between 1960 and 2010. The likelihood-ratio test shows that, for a selection of Latin American countries over the 50 years analysed, the macroeconomic variables of techni...

description This article applies the stochastic-frontier model to examine total factor productivity (tfp) and its components in Latin America between 1960 and 2010.

The key variables explaining technical inefficiency in the selected countries are public expenditure and the inflation rate; and there is also an inverse relation between technical inefficiency and the extent to which local prices diverge from purchasing power parity.
