Abstract

We propose a new measure of total factor productivity (TFP) growth in a general equilibrium setting.It measures by how much the efficiency frontier moves outwards given the availability of primary ressources, the technology and the structure of domestic final demand. Prices are endogenous. We apply this new measure to the Québec economy between 1978 and 1984. We find negative TFP growth rates in most of the manufacturing industries and positive and relatively high growth rates in the service sectors. Aggregate annual TFP growth was 1.1% over this period. Nous proposons une nouvelle mesure de la croissance de la productivité totale des facteurs (PTF) issue d'un modèle d'équilibre général. Elle mesure le déplacement de la frontière d'efficacité d'une économie, étant donné ses ressources primaires, sa balance commerciale, sa technologie et la structure de sa demande finale domestique. Les prix sont endogènes. Nous appliquons cette nouvelle mesure à l'économie du Québec entre 1978 et 1984. Nous obtenons des taux de croissance de la PTF négatifs dans la plupart des industries manufacturières et des taux positifs et relativement élevés pour plusieurs industries du tertiaire. Le taux de croissance annuel agrégé de la PTF fut de 1,1% pour cette période.
