abstract = {We estimate the relative roles of factor inputs and productivity in explaining the
level of economic development, which is measured as output per worker. For a
large sample of countries, we show that alternative identifying productivity
assumptions and alternative measures of human capital have a large impact on
the relative weights of factor inputs and productivity in a decomposition of
output per worker. For a sample of OECD countries, we find that productivity
has almost no role in explaining cross-country differences in output per worker.
This result supports the reasoning of a traditional neoclassical growth model.},
