Growth Decomposition and Estimation of Investment-Specific Technological Change in Iran’s Industry, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nili, Massoud (Supervisor) ; Abedini, Javad (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
The aim of this research was estimation of investment-specific technological change, using industrial database which is published annually by Bureau of Statistics of Iran. Investment-specific technological change is the quality improvement of investment in capital goods during the time. Before estimation of this rate, production function (regarding 130 industrial activities and during 14 years, 1994-2007) was estimated. All industries classified in 4 groups based on the level of technology used in them. Then factor’s production elasticities were compared between different groups of industries. The results showed that in high-tech industries the elasticities of skilled workers, import and...
