Labor force participation and total factor productivity

This dataset contains a country panel that has IMF capital stocks (separated into infrastructure and non-infrastructure) and data on GDP, labor force, education, and demographics. From these, it is possible to derived total factor productivity levels for country-year and perform further analysis. The key for the research is to test if TFP differences between economies can be accounted for by male-female labor force participation gaps.

As an alternative comparison, a heuristic TFP series created using Penn World is appended. This can be used as robustness checks.

本数据集包含一个国家面板，其中包含国际货币基金组织（IMF）的资本存量数据（分为基础设施和非基础设施两部分）以及国内生产总值（GDP）、劳动力、教育和人口统计数据。基于这些数据，可以推导出国家-年度的总要素生产率水平，并进一步进行分析。研究的关键在于验证经济之间的总要素生产率差异是否可以归因于男女劳动力参与率的差距。作为另一种比较方法，附加了使用宾夕法尼亚世界表（Penn World Table）创建的启发式总要素生产率系列，这可以用于稳健性检验。
