马克思-斯拉法框架下的全劳动生产率增速测算

Measuring Total Labour Productivity in a Marxian-Sraffian Framework

本文旨在构建一个基于政治经济学理论衡量经济效率的方法。本文引入全劳动生产率的概念,并利用罗默定理及其推论,在马克思-斯拉法框架内构建了衡量全劳动生产率增速的方法。在此基础上,本文使用由欧盟委员会资助建立的世界投入产出数据库数据,计算了世界40个经济体1996-2009年的全劳动生产率增速。研究发现,在样本期内,中国全劳动生产率增速处于40个经济体中的最高水平。由此可以推论,中国经济过去的高速增长是高效率的。

This paper aims to construct a method for measuring economic efficiency based on the theory of political economy.The concept of total labour productivity(TLP)is introduced,and a method able to measure the growth rate of total labour productivity is constructed within the framework of the Marxian-Sraffaian method using Roemer s theorem and its corollaries.On the basis of this,the paper uses data from the World Input-output Database(WIOD)to calculate the growth rate of total labour productivity in 40 economies around the world from 1996 to 2009.The results illustrate that China s total labour productivity growth was the highest during the sample period.It can be inferred from this result that China s high-speed growth in the past has been efficient.
