Par 1: Measuremen errors. Due o he qualiy changes which are no compleely reflece in he marke price of inpus an oupu, measuremen errors may exis in calculaing TFP. Suppose ha here are qualiy improvemens in inpus an oupu where Y*, K*, * are efine as he oupu, capial an labor in qualiy-ajuse efficiency unis, respecively. The correc specificaion of he proucion funcion woul hen be as follows: * N Y = A λ K * β * 1 β As Y, K, are observe variables, we have he following relaionships beween observe an unobserve qualiy-ajuse variables. Y * = c ( ) Y, Y K * = c ( ) K, K * = c ( ), where c Y (), c K (), an c () are unmeasure qualiy ajusmen over ime for each variable. To simplify he iscussion, we assume ha he qualiy increases over ime are geomerically consan. j c j c ( ) = e, for j * * * β *(1 β ) = Y, K,. We efine he qualiy-ajuse TFP (TFP*) as TFP Y /( K ). Then TFP* an measure TFP in his suy woul have he following relaions. logtfp = c c c + logtfp * Y K = * Since logtfp = log A + log( λ ), he correc moel specificaion woul be N logtfp = ( c c c ) + log A + N Y K log( λ) The correc specificaion shows ha log of TFP shoul have a ime ren. This implies ha our moel specificaion using (3.3) shoul resul in a non-saionary error erm because he erm ( c c c is omie. In oher wors, i shoul fail o show a coinegraing relaionship. However, Y K ) 2
since mos of our esimae moels show coinegraing relaionships, we can conjecure ha c0 c K c is very minimal an hus he mismeasuremen is minor. Par 2: Peroni s (1999) panel coinegraion es. The iscussion in his appenix raws heavily on he panel coinegraion es presene in Peroni (1999). Reaers shoul consul he original aricle for furher eails. The firs sep involves esimaing he appropriae levels, say equaion (5.1), for each counry i o obain an esimae resiual series e i. The secon process involves ifferencing he levels equaion once in orer o obain he resiuals, v i. This proceure obains an esimae of he long-run variances of v i, 2 vi (), using a kernel esimaor (choosing sample covariance weighs appropriaely). The hir sep involves running he following Augmene Dickey Fuller regressions for each counry i: p i Δ e = ρe + γ Δ e + u. (A1) i i i, 1 ik i, k i k = 1 The nex sep is o compue he variance of he resiual series an enoe i by s *2 ui (). Given ha s * 1 N *2 N su() i N i = 1, compue he following es saisic as N T 1/2 N T * * 2 2 2 2 N, T N v( i) i, 1 v( i) i, 1 Δ i, 1 i= 1 = 1 i= 1 = 1, (A2) Z s e e e where N is he number of counries an T is he lengh of each counry series. Base on * Z NT,, we obain he panel coinegraion es saisics, Ψ NT,, by applying he mean ajusmen, μ, an variance ajusmen, ω, repore in Peroni (1999, Table 2). The panel coinegraion es saisic * Z NT, μ N Ψ NT, = (A3) ω has a sanar normal isribuion. 3
