Abstract: This paper surveys the methodologies adopted and the results produced in 13 studies on Japan's TFP growth in the 1990s at the macro- and industry-level. Most of these studies point out a slowdown in Japan's TFP growth rates during the 1990s, however, the degree of the slowdown is fairly small. Using the Japan Industrial Productivity Database, we estimate the mark-up ratios and the degree of returns to scale at the industry level, and then re-estimate TFP growth rates.
