Description
This thesis examines the relationship between
productivity growth and industrial policy using J.S. data
from 1948 to 1981. A growth accounting model is used to study
productivity growth and the recent productivity slowdown.
Beth sides of the industrial policy debate are offered. The analysis of the productivity slowdown is then applied
to the industrial policy debate to see if the establishment
of the latter could have avoided the former. The thesis
purports a negative response to the question.
