本文考察了英国制造业1970-92年间的生产率增长和水平。在这个期间,英国制造业产出下降,但制造业在用较少的工作小时数目下,其劳动生产率增高了。在制造业内,在各部门和各时期中,包括1973-79年和1979-89年两个高点至高点经济周期间的显著的差异,经济的业绩相当大地不一样的。为了更全面地理解制造业经济的业绩,本文使用生产率的两个度量:劳动生产率和总计要素生产率,对19个制造业行业细察了其分类数据。 This article examines the productivity growth and level of British manufacturing in the 1970-92 period. During this period, the output of the UK’s manufacturing industry declined, but the labor productivity of the manufacturing industry increased with less work hours. In the manufacturing industry, the economic performance is quite different from the significant differences between the two high points during the 1973-79 and 1979-89 economic periods in various sectors and periods. In order to more fully understand the performance of the manufacturing economy, this paper uses two measures of productivity: labor productivity and total factor productivity, and categorizes 19 categories of manufacturing industries.
