A paper by Robert Inklaar and Erwin Diewert on "Measuring industry productivity and cross-country convergence" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Econometrics, in a special issue on economic measurement. The paper finds that cross-country productivity convergence has mainly occurred due to fast productivity growth in the traded sector of major emerging economies, like China and India.
