We consider how the growth of total factor productivity (TFP) was affected by R&D, trade,
information and communication technology, and catching-up for the period from 1990 to …

In this paper we examine empirically the determinants of TFP growth in eleven OECD
countries at the industry level since 1970. We investigate the role of R&D in stimulating …
