- Abstract
- This paper provides some empirical evidence for R&D stock,
openness, and economic freedom that foster the growth of TFP.
However, it finds no empirical evidence for markup price and nonconstant
returns to scale, implying the growth rate of TFP measured
as the Solow residual reflects the true productivity growth. In
addition, it also suggests empirical evidence for the enlarged role
of TFP in the growth of innovation-driven economies by exploring
two dynamic panel models specifying the relationship among TFP,
investment, and employment. Based on these main findings, I
suggest a few policy implications for Korea to fully utilize the role
of TFP in the growth of the Korean economy that is transitioning
to or has already transitioned to an innovation-driven economy.
