Technological Change and Contribution to Growth and Convergence

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper incorporates data on efficiency and output per worker for 1965 and 1990 for
57 countries divided into four groups to seek an understanding of similarities and differences
among them. Tools employed were testing for equality of means and testing for convergence.
The findings indicate that the gaps between the groups were widened during the period
studied for both efficiency and output per worker. While divergence was observed when all
countries were grouped in one set, there were indications of convergence when the groups
were treated separately.
