Macro Determinants of Total Factor Productivity in Pakistan

By utilizing the conventional growth accounting framework, this study first estimates the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Pakistan and then establishes its macro determinants.

Interestingly, education expenditures turn out to be insignificant.
