Determinantes da Produtividade: Análise do Impacto do Índice GCI e Seus Componentes Sobre a PTF

This study aimed to investigate the main determinants of productivity in a cross-country sample. Therefore, measures of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) have been built, and we have estimated the effects of the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), its subindexes and the 12 pillars of competitiveness on the former (TFP). The main results are that an increase in one unit of the GCI index leads to a net rise in productivity between 12 and 21%, which seems to occur via the "Efficiency Based” subindex, since an increment in one unit of this index leads to a TFP increase by more than 30%. In future studies, we intend to analyze, in more detail, the effects of the subindexes and the GCI’s pillars on productivity controlling for the countries’ economic development level.本研究旨在探究跨国样本中生产率的核心决定因素。为此，我们构建了全要素生产率（Total Factor Productivity, TFP）的测度指标，并估算了全球竞争力指数（Global Competitiveness Index, GCI）及其分项指标、12大竞争力支柱对全要素生产率的影响效应。核心研究结果表明：全球竞争力指数每提升1个单位，可带动生产率净增长12%至21%；该效应主要通过“效率导向型”分项指标实现——该分项指标每提升1个单位，可推动全要素生产率增长30%以上。未来研究中，我们将在控制各国经济发展水平的条件下，进一步细致分析全球竞争力指数分项指标及各竞争力支柱对生产率的影响效应。
