This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the IMF.The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. This paper uses the growth accounting framework to assess Sri Lanka's sources of growth. It finds that while labor was the dominant factor contributing to growth in the 1980s, labor's contribution declined over time and was overtaken, to a large extent, by total factor productivity (TFP) and, to a lower extent, by physical and human capital accumulation. A higher growth path over the medium term will depend on securing a stable political and macroeconomic environment; implementing structural reforms necessary to improve productivity and efficiency of investment; attaining fiscal consolidation; and creating space for the private sector.

“…The papers by Stiroh (2002), O' Mahony and Robinson (2003), and Vijselaar and Albers (2004) use data at industry-level to estimate the relationship between labour productivity/TFP and ICT. Stiroh (2002) uses the DID estimator to account for the productivity differentials between ICT-using firms and non ICT-using firms.…”

“…O' Mahony and Robinson (2003) take a more conventional approach including ICT as an extra factor of production in the TFP calculations. Vijselaar and Albers (2004) estimate the relationship between the increase in ICT using and producing sectors and aggregate TFP performance. The main result coming from these three papers is that, although ICT has a positive correlation with TFP, there is not enough evidence supporting the view that the increase in ICT investment is the reason behind the rise in USA productivity during the second half of the 1990s.…”

Enhancing Productivity: The Role of Management Practices

et al. 2008

There is no doubt that management practices are linked to the productivity and performance of a company. However, research findings are mixed. This paper provides a multi-disciplinary review of the current evidence of such a relationship and offers suggestions for further exploration. We provide an extensive review of the literature in terms of research findings from studies that have been trying to measure and understand the impact that individual management practices and clusters of management practices have on productivity at different levels of analysis. We focus our review on Operations Management (OM) and Human Resource Management (HRM) practices as well as joint applications of these practices. In conclusion, we can say that taken as a whole, the research findings are equivocal. Some studies have found a positive relationship between the adoption of management practices and productivity, some negative and some no association whatsoever. We believe that the lack of universal consensus on the effect of the adoption of complementary management practices might be driven either by measurement issues or by the level of analysis. Consequently, there is a need for further research. In particular, for a multi-level approach from the lowest possible level of aggregation up to the firm-level of analysis in order to assess the impact of management practices upon the productivity of firms.
