Abstract

The aggregate rate of total factor productivity growth (TFPG) when there are intermediate inputs, can be expressed either as a weighted average or as a weighted sum of the sectoral rates depending on the choice of sectoral rates being weighted. The agrument that there is a magnification effect due to the transmission of TFPG through the intersectoral flows among sectors, is therefore to be more illusory than real.
