The problem, however, is that such values and perspectives do not necessarily form coherent ethical theories.

CONCLUSIONS""; ""References"" 330 3 $aThis paper investigates empirically the sources of aggregate output growth and the determinants of total factor productivity (TFP) in Niger between 1963 and 2003. A growth accounting analysis indicates that the erosion in output per capita over the sample period is due to the negative growth of both TFP and physical capital per capita. Sound macroeconomic policies, supported by official development assistance and structural reforms, are found to be key to raising TFP growth. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/208 606 $aIndustrial productivity$zNiger 606 $aCapacity$2imf 606 $aCapital accumulation$2imf 606 $aCapital and Total Factor Productivity$2imf 606 $aCapital$2imf 606 $aClimate$2imf 606 $aCost$2imf 606 $aEconomic theory$2imf 606 $aGlobal Warming$2imf 606 $aHuman Capital$2imf 606 $aHuman capital$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 606 $aIndustrial productivity$2imf 606 $aIntangible Capital$2imf 606 $aInvestment$2imf 606 $aInvestments: General$2imf 606 $aLabor Productivity$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Production$2imf 606 $aNatural Disasters and Their Management$2imf 606 $aNatural Disasters$2imf 606 $aNatural disasters$2imf 606 $aOccupational Choice$2imf 606 $aProduction and Operations Management$2imf 606 $aProduction growth$2imf 606 $aProduction$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 606 $aSkills$2imf 606 $aTotal factor productivity$2imf 607 $aNiger$xEconomic conditions 607 $aNiger$2imf 615 0$aIndustrial productivity 615 7$aCapacity 615 7$aCapital accumulation 615 7$aCapital and Total Factor Productivity 615 7$aCapital 615 7$aClimate 615 7$aCost 615 7$aEconomic theory 615 7$aGlobal Warming 615 7$aHuman Capital 615 7$aHuman capital 615 7$aIncome economics 615 7$aIndustrial productivity 615 7$aIntangible Capital 615 7$aInvestment 615 7$aInvestments: General 615 7$aLabor Productivity 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Production 615 7$aNatural Disasters and Their Management 615 7$aNatural Disasters 615 7$aNatural disasters 615 7$aOccupational Choice 615 7$aProduction and Operations Management 615 7$aProduction growth 615 7$aProduction 615 7$aSaving and investment 615 7$aSkills 615 7$aTotal factor productivity 700 $aNachega$b Jean-Claude$01816041 701 $aFontaine$b Thomson$01816093 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bAfrican Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958654703321 996 $aEconomic Growth and Total Factor Productivity in Niger$94371747 997 $aUNINA
