Abstract
During the last several decades productivity improvement measures have received increased recognition as important performance measures. This study analyzes and empirically estimates traditional productivity measures. Using data from sixteen countries, the results of this study indicate that the Hayes and Clark total factor productivity measure [2] is weakly associated with labor and investment in equipment, but more strongly associated with material productivity.
