Output Deviations from the Long Run Aggregate Production Function with Final Restrictions on the Cointegrating Space ImposedThis paper investigates the impact of public capital on private sector output by testing and estimating an aggregate production function for the U.S. economy over the postwar period augmented to include the stock of public capital as an additional factor input. We use patent applications to proxy for knowledge/technology stocks and adjust labor hours for changes in human capital or skill. Using Johansen's (1988 and 1991) multivariate cointegration analysis, we find a positive and significant long run effect of public capital, private capital, skilladjusted labor, and technology/ knowledge on private sector output. We find that public capital accounts for about half of the post-1973 productivity slowdown, but only plays a minor role in the partial recovery of labor productivity growth since the mid 1980s. The largest contribution to that (partial) recovery comes from the knowledge stock and human capital.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/218Public investmentsUnited StatesEconometric modelsHuman capitalUnited StatesEconometric modelsKnowledge managementUnited StatesEconometric modelsEconometricsimfInvestments: StocksimfLaborimfMacroeconomicsimfProduction and Operations ManagementimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfPension FundsimfNon-bank Financial InstitutionsimfFinancial InstrumentsimfInstitutional InvestorsimfTime-Series ModelsimfDynamic Quantile RegressionsimfDynamic Treatment Effect ModelsimfDiffusion ProcessesimfHuman CapitalimfSkillsimfOccupational ChoiceimfLabor ProductivityimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfLabourimfincome economicsimfInvestment & securitiesimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfStocksimfVector autoregressionimfHuman capitalimfProductivityimfLabor economicsimfIndustrial productivityimfUnited StatesimfPublic investmentsEconometric models.Human capitalEconometric models.Knowledge managementEconometric models.EconometricsInvestments: StocksLaborMacroeconomicsProduction and Operations ManagementLabor Economics: GeneralPension FundsNon-bank Financial InstitutionsFinancial InstrumentsInstitutional InvestorsTime-Series ModelsDynamic Quantile RegressionsDynamic Treatment Effect ModelsDiffusion ProcessesHuman CapitalSkillsOccupational ChoiceLabor ProductivityMacroeconomics: ProductionLabourincome economicsInvestment & securitiesEconometrics & economic statisticsStocksVector autoregressionHuman capitalProductivityLabor economicsIndustrial productivity336.150973Joutz Frederick1150783Abdih Yasser1462111DcWaIMFBOOK9910788345003321The Impact of Public Capital, Human Capital, and Knowledge on Aggregate Output3716501UNINA
