The Dynamics of Sectoral Productivity Distributions

Team	Uwe Cantner, Jens Krüger
Abstract	This project desires to model the evolution of sectoral productivity distributions over time. The predictions obtained from the theoretical model are then compared to the estimated distributions using nonparametric methods. In this way technological and structural changes are succinctly and theoretically meaningful summarized and provide the basis for deriving indicators that may aid decisions with respect to economic policy.
