经济衰退前G7各国劳动力系统生产率的实证分析

An Empirical Analysis of Labor System Productivity of the G7 Countries before the Economic Recession

本文运用DEA评价方法以评价经济衰退前(1997-2007年期间)G7发达国家的劳动力系统生产率(效率)。研究发现:(1)1997-2007年期间G7发达国家劳动力系统生产率(效率)下降造成了经济衰退。(2)G7发达国家按大洲编组的劳动力系统生产率(效率)存在显著差异,较有效率的国家是美国、加拿大、日本。文章最后给出结论并提出建议:(1)未来可进一步创新DEA模型以分析各国劳动力系统生产率(效率);(2)经济衰退中的G7各国应高度关注国家劳动力系统生产率(效率)的研究,加强国际比较和学习。

This paper employs the DEA assessment approach to evaluate the productivity(efficiency) of labor systems in the G7 countries of the pre-economic recession years from 1997 to 2007.The major findings are as follows:(1) the downward trend of labor system productivity(efficiency) of the G7 countries in 1997-2007 leads to the economic recession;(2) there is significant difference in labor system productivity(efficiency) among the countries categorized by continent.Countries like the U.S.,Canada,Japan are more efficient.The paper draws conclusions and provides suggestions:(1) the DEA approach can be further developed and applied to labor system productivity(efficiency) of all countries worldwide;(2) the research on labor system productivity is worth of doing and more communication is needed among the G7 countries in the economic recession.
