Chapter 1 presents two general empirical frameworks for cross-country productivity analysis and demonstrates that they encompass the growth empirics literature of the past decades.

Chapters 2 and 3 present empirical implementations for cross-country panel data for the manufacturing and agriculture sector respectively. Monte Carlo simulations in Chapter 4 investigate the performance of the standard (micro-) and novel...
