“…On the basis of Solow's model, the size of TFP for both economies as well as individual industries was estimated. In parallel, the methods of measuring the share of TFP in relation to the share of other inputs, which resulted in a reduction of Solow's original estimates of TFP share in the growth, were modified and refined (Jorgenson & Griliches, 1967;Islam, 1999;Shestalova, 2001). And so, for example, in the period of 1960-95, close to 50% Japanese output growth and more then 40% German and Italian output growth were determined by TFP growth (Helpman, 2004, p. 24).…”
