Dean, Edwin; Kunze, Kent; and Rosenblum, Larry. "Productivity Change and the Measurement of Heterogeneous Labor Inputs," prepared for Conference on New Measurement Procedures for U.S. Agricultural Productivity, March 1989. Changes in the education and experience distribution of the workforce (based on a new model) show a modest contribution to productivity growth (0.2 percent annually) and very little explanation of the productivity slowdown.
Harper, Michael J. and Gullickson, William. "Cost Function Models and Accounting for Growth in U.S. Manufacturing, 1949-86," prepared for the National Bureau of Economic Research Summer Institute, 1989. The effects of factor substitution induced by relative price changes on labor productivity are assessed using an econometric cost function model.
