摘要：
The extent of beta- and sigma-convergence of average labor productivity across manufacturing industries in 18 OECD countries over the period 1972-1992 shows large inter-industry differences. One reason for these differences is knowledge and capital barriers preventing the occurrence of catch-up. We find the level of average labor productivity, as a proxy for these barriers, is correlated with the extent of convergence. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
