1 CENTER FOR MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND SHORT-TERM FORECASTING Phone: , How do R&D expenditures influence national total factor productivity and technical efficiency? Alexander Apokin, Irina Ipatova (CMASF)
2 1. Motivation Cross-country productivity studies widely use the growth accounting framework (Barro, 1999) assumes full utilization of production factors total factor productivity (TFP) (the Solow residual ) is assumed to represent technical progress (Acemoglu, 2008) We decompose the TFP dynamics with cross-country comparison on a macrolevel Our TFP decomposition separately includes: the dynamics of the global technological frontier the dynamics of the national technological frontiers the dynamics of technical efficiency of each economy We examine whether R&D expenditures significantly influence TFP growth in the framework based on Kumar and Russell (2002) 2
3 1. Motivation What we did in this paper: estimated the impact of R&D expenditures on technical efficiency (TE) and total factor productivity (TFP) on the span of 5 to 10 years How we did this: estimated the structure and dynamics of TFP in a three-factor production function model framework using SFA and DEA methods used both 22-country OECD-1990+Russia sample and a larger 65-country sample for modeled TE and TFP as dependence on R&D expenditures and control variables We found that: there was a large and significant influence of 5- and 10-year lagged R&D expenditures both on TFP and technical efficiency 3

TFP and Technical Efficiency Estimates We calculate TFP and TE estimates and test the economic adequacy of our model TFP estimates by comparing them with: each other estimates from other issuers: OECD Conference Board PWT All TFP estimates are highly correlated even though PF coefficients vary The results, with some exceptions, indicate very strong correlation between our estimates and those made by OECD, Conference Board and PWT 15

Conclusions After the controls, 5 to 10 year lags of R&D expenditures significant impact on TFP and technical efficiency growth The elasticity of TFP growth rates w.r.t. to 10-year lag of R&D intensity (per 1.0% increase of R&D/GDP) is: for the sample: 3.0 to 6.0 for the OECD-1990+Russia sample: 7.0 to 8.0 The elasticity of TFP growth rates w.r.t. to 5-year lag of R&D density (per $1000 increase of R&D expenditure per researcher) is: for the sample: p.p. for the OECD-1990+Russia sample: p.p. 25
