Productivity growth in polish industry

Abstract

Polish economists have long emphasized the need to increase factor productivity and enterprise efficiency to shift from an extensive pattern of development. Both individual and joint factor productivity at the industrial branch level during the 1960-1977 period are examined. Several industrial branches experienced an increase in the rate of growth of joint factor productivity during the mid-1970s. It also appears that co-production and licensing agreements have contributed to these increases whereas greater than average growth rates of gross fixed capital had little impact. © 1987.
