Rural transformation and productivity in China by You, Kefei, Sarantis, Nicholas

“…During the post-reform period (1978-2005), both total and net factor productivity exhibited increasing trends and high positive growth rates, except during 1989-90 (the period of the political troubles in Tiananmen Square). We find that the inclusion of rural transformation increases the average growth rate of factor productivity by nearly one percentage point during the post-reform period, thus making our estimates of total factor productivity growth higher than those reported by previous studies.…”
