Aleksejs Meļihovs and Gundars Davidsons

No 2006/03, Working Papers from Latvijas Banka

Abstract: The paper sets a goal to assess the significance of production progress and human capital for the Latvian economy and to estimate long-term growth rates of the country's economic development. The authors made an attempt to construct a production function using non-linear modelling. In order to improve the production function model for Latvia, the authors augmented the model by human capital approximation.
