Abstract

This paper explores a relatively new methodology, the directional distance function method, to analyse productivity growth. The method allows us to explicitly evaluate the role that undesirable outputs of the economy, such as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, have on the frontier production process which we specify as a piecewise linear and convex boundary function. We decompose productivity growth into efficiency change (catching up) and technology change (innovation). We test the statistical significance of the estimates using recently developed bootstrap methods. We also explore implications for growth of total factor productivity in the OECD and Asian economies.

## Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor that plays an important role in the differentiation and growth of neuronal cells. It is also regarded as an inflammatory mediator in non‐neuronal tissues under physiological stress conditions. The mechanisms of NGF production and its ro
