Özet
Productivity, the fundamental element of sustainable growth, is the term that expresses the level of efficient and effective use of labor, capital and other production factors. This term is an indicator of the ability of economic units to transform their input into output. Considering large and increasing differences between countries in terms of per capita income and factor accumulations that cannot fully explain these differences, productivity growth plays a dominant role for sustainable economic growth. In this study, the total factor productivity (TFP) growth and its components were calculated with a panel data set that includes 28 OECD countries for the period 1970-2017 by using a stochastic frontier analysis. It was determined that the average annual increase of TFP was 0.13% during the analysis period. The annual average productivity declined in the years of the 1970s and the early 1980s. It also decreased in 2008 and 2009 when the global crisis was experienced. The deepest decline was seen in 2009 with 2.25%. The growth in TFP is mainly dependent on technological progress rather than improvements in technical efficiency and scale efficiency. Another finding of the study is that countries with higher per capita income are also dominant in technological progress.
