While they compare the growth rate of wage with that of average labor productivity, we compare it with the growth rate of marginal labor productivity. After estimating the elasticity of substitution and technology level, we estimate the marginal labor productivity. Wages and marginal labor productivities are similar over 1963-2000. However, while wages come short of marginal labor productivities over 1963-1986, they exceed marginal labor productivities over 1987-2000. Although the growth rate of wage is not so different from that of marginal labor productivity, it can be disparate from that of average labor productivity. Therefore the former exceeding the latter does not mean the excessive wage growth off the labor demand curve.

노동성은 선반 타이어산업, 자동차공업을 포함하는 20산업계의 1970년노동생산통계를 수집 그 결과를 발표했다. 이에 의하면 1970년이라 하면 경기하강기에 들어선탓인지 노동생산성(생산물단위당의 노동시간수)는 일부를 제외하고는 저하하고 있는 업종이 많으며 불황기인 1965년보다는 낳으나 66년~69년의 각년보다는 나쁘다고 되어있다. 또 타이어 대해서 보건데 70년대에는 이미 타이어수요의 커어브가 하향길을 더듬고 있을 때 이기도 하여 정세로서는 반드시 좋다고는 할 수 없으나 노동생산성으로서는 전체적 견지에서 약천이라도 상향되어 있다는 것이다. 연이나 그 전의 상향률보다는 나쁘다는 것이다.

OECD 회원국 34개국 중 시간당 노동생산성은 20위권에 머물고 있지만, 근로시간은 OECD 국가 중 2위를 차지하고 있다. 일은 오래하지만, 효율이 떨어진다는 의미다. 노동생산성 역시 OECD 평균 대비 79.9%, 미국의 60.6%, 일본의 86.6% 수준에 그치고 있다. 세계 시장에서 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해서는 노동생산성 향상이 꼭 이뤄져야 한다.

일본노동성은 1974년 노동생산성을 집계하여 근자 발표한 바 있으나 그중 타이어산업의 노동생산성은 전년비 1.6%의 다운으로 되어 있다. 이하는 동보고서의 개요이다.

한국생산성본부가 최근 2007년 제조업의 노동생산성 동향을 발표했다. 이에 따르면 제조업의 생산성은 지난 2006년과 비교해 9.6%의 증가세를 보이고 있으나 출판인쇄기록 매체는 오히려 하락(0.1%)한 것으로 나타났다. 산출량 역시 제조업은 8.4% 증가했으나 출판인쇄기록매체는 0.7% 하락했다. 단위노동비용도 제조업은 109.5로 지난 2006년과 비교해 1.5% 감소했으나 출판인쇄기록매체는 133.7로 2006년에 비해 19% 상승한 것으로 조사됐다. 반면 제조업의 노동투입량은 1.1% 하락에 그쳤으나 출판인쇄기록매체는 2.7% 하락해 노동투입량은 제조업 평균보다 더 감소했다. 1인당 월평균 명목임금도 제조업(2689천원 6.6%상승)에 비해 2241천원(0.5%증가)으로 낮은 증가세를 보였다.

This paper examines the shift to service economy in the developed countries including Korea and analyzes whether Baumol's cost disease hypothesis could explain the labor productivity growth in the developed countries even though the share of service industry is rising rapidly. We have found the following results: First, the shift to service economy is widely observed in the developed countries. Second, the productivity gap between manufacturing and service industry is widening as a result of stagnant productivity growth in service industry. Third, however, the productivity in the whole economy is still growing because of the large productivity differences among the sub-industries in service industry. Fourth, we have found that the productivities of some service industries, such as finance, communication, business service, etc., are almost same or larger than the productivity of manufacturing industry. From this fact it is likely that the productivity of the whole economy could grow in spite of the stagnant productivity growth in service industry.

The purpose of this paper is to survey existing literature and empirical studies about the effect of unions on productivity and productivity growth in US and British. Evidence regarding union effects on productivity is incomplete in the studies surveyed in this paper. Unions have a positive effect on productivity in US, but the most of studies in British show that unions have a negative effect. But the direction and magnitude of union effects on productivity growth cannot be predicted from economic theory. It may be that there is no unitary relationship between unions and productivity growth. The comprehensive conclusion about the effects of unions on productivity growth cannot be drawn from the studies surveyed in this paper. The question of whether unions have a positive effect or negative effect on productivity and productivity growth is an empirical issue.

Korea's labor productivity in construction sites is dependent on experience and act in accordance with the human element of the construction workers. In order to increase the work productivity of the construction site that requires a strategic management to potentially hindrance factors of labor productivity. However, without considering the potential problems, management of labor productivity in prior studies is focused only on the immediate problems. The purpose of this study is to compare the site-specific analysis of labor productivity impediments using easy IPA to identify potential causes. As a result of the analysis was to identify the realistic problems of job insecurity and poor working conditions as well as economic problems. It is expected that it is possible to provide the basic data to strategy suggestions for long-term labor productivity improvement of the construction site.

This paper analyzes the effects of trade on demand for labor of trading firms in Korea. We apply system GMM methodology to estimate the effects of imports and exports on employment of Korean manufacturing firms using firm-level data from the Survey of Business Activities of Statistics Korea between 2006 and 2014. According to our estimated results, for firms with high-productivity, exports have a positive and significant effect on the labor demand, while other firms do not show any such significant effects. Furthermore, our results show that offshoring mitigates the positive effects of exports on employment, since tasks within the firms can be relocated abroad. On the other hand, an increase in imports reduces demand for labor because labor is replaced with low-priced imported inputs. Also, when firms partake in global outsourcing, the negative effects of imports are mitigated as those firms expand their production by enhancing their efficiency in the process of offshoring. Therefore, our results suggest that it is important to consider heterogeneous firm productivity as well as offshoring in analyzing the effect of trade on labor demand of firms.

This paper examines the impact of a dual labor market structure on labor productivity using unbalanced panel data from 29 OECD member countries between 1990 and 2015. By applying a variety of regression models on the panel data (e.g., a pooled regression, a fixed effects model and a GMM), we explore how changes in worker-type composition among temporary, permanent and self-employed workers contribute to productivity growth. While it appears that our results differ slightly, depending on the econometric models, overall an increase in the share of permanent workers leads to a relatively higher increase in productivity growth. On the other hand, it is also seen that the effects of the share of temporary workers on labor productivity are considerably lower than that of permanent and self-employed workers. To sum it up, our findings indicate that an increase in temporary workers could have an adverse effect on labor productivity.
