Productivity effects of trade in natural resources-comparison with mechanisms of technological specialisation

Zuzanna Helena Zarach et al.

Summary: This paper compares two alternative growth paths – specialisation in natural resources and specialisation in technologically advanced products – and evaluates their effects on productivity. The empirical analysis, based on product-level export data from 109 developing and 51 developed economies between 1996 and 2018, identifies two distinct types of specialisation and examines their roles in labour productivity growth using GMM estimation. The findings show that while natural resource exports weakly slow down growth, the type of resources exported is crucial, with metals enhancing productivity catch-up and stimulating growth in developing countries. Technological specialisation, particularly in Fourth Industrial Revolution products, reinforces productivity growth but does not impact the relationship between natural resources and productivity growth.

Intelligent technologies and productivity spillovers: Evidence from the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Francesco Venturini

Summary: This paper investigates the productivity spillovers associated with intelligent technologies using patent data from industrialized economies between 1990 and 2014. The study finds a significant and economically important relationship between the stock of knowledge related to intelligent technologies and aggregate productivity. The authors estimate that knowledge related to intelligent technologies accounts for 3-8% of observed productivity change, indicating its substantial impact. The study also suggests that productivity spillovers from intelligent technology patents may follow a J-curve pattern, supporting the notion that these innovations can behave as General Purpose Technologies (GPTs).

Threats and opportunities in the digital era: Automation spikes and employment dynamics

Giacomo Domini et al.

Summary: Using integrated data from French manufacturing employers from 2002 to 2015, this paper finds that automation spikes are associated with an increase in firms' net employment growth rate, primarily due to higher hiring rates and lower separation rates, rather than significant changes in the composition of the workforce.

Natural resource rents and economic growth in the top resource-abundant countries: A PMG estimation

Ousama Ben-Salha et al.

Summary: The paper examines the relationship between natural resource rents and economic growth, finding support for the natural resource bless hypothesis in the long run, but not in the short run. Economic growth has a positive impact on resource rents, and a feedback causal relationship exists between the two variables. Additionally, there is heterogeneity of results across countries in the short run.

The Productivity J-Curve: How Intangibles Complement General Purpose Technologies

Erik Brynjolfsson et al.

Summary: General purpose technologies (GPTs) like AI require significant intangible investments, which can lead to underestimation followed by overestimation of productivity growth. By analyzing US data and adjusting for intangibles related to computer hardware and software, the productivity level was found to be 15.9% higher than official measures by the end of 2017.
