Abstract

This paper analyzes patterns of long-term economic performance in all five Central Asian countries. We first look at sources of economic growth based on a simple growth accounting exercise. Our findings show that under the period of study total factor productivity growth rates were modest ranging from 1.7% for Kazakhstan, 1.4% for Uzbekistan, and 0.8% for Tajikistan and Turkmenistan to-0.4% for the Kyrgyz Republic. The second part of the paper is connected with exploring productivity level analysis across all Central Asian countries by decomposing differences in output per worker into differences in capital intensity and productivity. Results reflect different levels of productivity performance in the region compared with Japan and South Korea as frontier economies for the analysis.

中亚的经济增长和生产力表现。

本文分析了中亚五国的长期经济表现模式。我们首先根据一个简单的增长核算来研究经济增长的来源。我们的研究结果表明，在研究期间，全要素生产率增长率适中，哈萨克斯坦为1.7%，乌兹别克斯坦为1.4%，塔吉克斯坦和土库曼斯坦为0.8%，吉尔吉斯共和国为0.4%。本文的第二部分是通过将人均产出的差异分解为资本密集度和生产率的差异来探索所有中亚国家的生产率水平分析。与作为分析前沿经济体的日本和韩国相比，结果反映了该地区不同水平的生产率表现。

期刊介绍： Comparative Economic Studies is a journal of the Association for Comparative Economic Studies (ACES). It aims to publish papers that address several objectives: that provide original political economy analysis from a comparative perspective, that are an accessible source for state-of-the-art comparative economics thinking, that encourage cross-fertilization of ideas, that debate directions for future research in comparative economics, and that can provide materials and insights that are relevant for teaching, public policy debate and the media. Comparative Economic Studies welcome both submissions that are explicitly comparative and case studies of single countries or regions. The journal is interested in papers that investigate how economic systems respond to economic transitions, crises and to structural change, brought about by globalization, demographics, institutions, technology, politics, and the environment. While maintaining its position as an important outlet for work on Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union, the scope of Comparative Economic Studies encompasses other areas as well (European Union, Asia, Latin America, and Africa).
