Abstract

[eng] Growth in Productivity, Catching-up and Innovation: An Analysis of OECD Manufacturing Sectors, . by Fabienne Fecher.. . The purpose of this paper is to test a catching-up model for OECD manufacturing sectors over the 1970-1986 period. This model analyses the effect of both the catching-up process and innovative activity on total factor productivity growth. Total productivity is measured at two levels, that of technological progress and that of technical efficiency. The findings show that the reason for the increase in productivity is twofold: both the catching-up process and innovative activity are involved. It appears that R & D is an important contributor to technological progress while the catching-up process is a significant determinant of efficiency change. [fre] Croissance de la productivité, rattrapage et innovation : une analyse des secteurs manufacturiers de l'Ocde, . par Fabienne Fecher.. . Cet article analyse l'impact du processus d'imitation et de l'activité innovante sur l'évolution de la productivité totale des facteurs au sein des secteurs manufacturiers de l'Ocde, pour la période 1970-1986. La mesure de la productivité est décomposée en deux éléments : le progrès technique et l'efficacité technique. Les résultats indiquent que les gains de productivité s'expliquent à la fois par le processus de rattrapage, déterminant significatif des gains d'efficacité technique, et par la recherche et développement, facteur explicatif important du progrès technique. [ger] Produktivitätszuwachs, Auftiolprozeß und Innovation: eine Analyse der produzierenden Sektoren der OECD, . von Fabienne Fecher.. . In diesem Artikel wird die Auswirkung des Nachahmungsprozesses und der Innovationstätigkeit auf die Entwicklung der Gesamtproduktivität der Faktoren innerhalb der produzierenden Sektoren der OECD zwischen 1970 und 1986 analysiert. Das Messen der Produktivität erfolgt auf der Grundlage zweier Elemente: dem technischen Fortschritt und der technischen Leistungsfähigkeit. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß sich die Produktivitätsgewinne sowohl durch den Aufholprozeß, die bedeutende Déterminante für die Steigerung der technischen Leistungsfähigkeit, als auch durch die Forschung und Entwicklung, den wichtigen explikativen Faktor des technischen Fortschritts, erklären lassen. [spa] Incremento de la productividad, recuperación e innovación: análisis de los sectores manufactureras de la OCDE, . por Fabienne Fecher.. . En el presente artículo se analiza el impacto del proceso de imitación y de la actividad innovadora sobre la evolución de la productividad total de los factores en los sectores manufactureros de la OCDE, durante el período 1970-1986. La evaluación de la productividad se desglosa en dos elementos: el progreso técnico y la eficacia técnica. Los resultados indican que los incrementos de productividad se deben tanto al proceso de recuperación, un factor que détermina significativamente los incrementos de eficacia técnica, como a la investigation y el desarrollo, importante factor explicativo del progreso técnico.
