Productivity Revisitedbrings together the new conceptual advances of 'second-wave' productivity analysis that have revolutionized the study of productivity, calling much previous analysis into question while providing a new set of tools for approaching these debates. The book extends this analysis and, using unique data sets from multiple developing countries, grounds it in the developing-country context. It calls for rebalancing away from an exclusive focus on misallocation toward a greater focus on upgrading firms and facilitating the emergence of productive new establishments. Such an approach requires a supportive environment and various types of human capital--managerial, technical, and actuarial--necessary to cultivate new transformational firms.The book is the second volume of the World Bank Productivity Project, which seeks to bring frontier thinking on the measurement and determinants of productivity to global policy makers. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aIndustrial productivity 606 $aLabor productivity 615 0$aIndustrial productivity. 615 0$aLabor productivity. 676 $a338.06 700 $aCusolito$b Ana Paula$01469058 702 $aMaloney$b William F. 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793320103321 996 $aProductivity Revisited$93680459 997 $aUNINA
