There have been many attempts by scholars from a wide range of disciplines to explain this remarkable history, but for economists interested in the quantitative analysis of economic growth and the principal question addressed is how Japan was able to grow so rapidly. The contributors focus their efforts on the accurate measurement and comparison of Japanese and U.S. economic growth. Assuming that any sustained increase in real GNP must be due either to an increase in the quantity of capital and labor used in production or to the more efficient use of these inputs, the authors analyze the individual contributions of various factors and their importance in the process of output growth. These essays extend the methodology of growth analysis and offer many insights into the factors leading to the superior performance of the Japanese economy. They demonstrate that growth is a complex process and no single factor can explain the Japanese 'miracle.' 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 53. 606 $aIndustrial productivity$zJapan$vCongresses 606 $aIndustrial productivity$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aIndustrial productivity 615 0$aIndustrial productivity 676 $a338.06 701 $aHulten$b Charles R$0123318 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809035303321 996 $aProductivity growth in Japan and the United States$94195822 997 $aUNINA
