Productivity Progress Parameters for Manufacturing in an LDC: The Startup or Learning Phase in Bangladesh Jute Mills

Muhammad G Kibria and Clement Tisdell

Australian Economic Papers, 1985, vol. 24, issue 45, 370-79

Abstract: Uses power functions and linear ratio functions to measure productivity progress attributable to learning as a time-dependent phenomenon in the startup phase of spinning and weaving processes in individual Bangladeshi jute mills. In so doing, it provides evidence on the importance of learning-by-doing in manufacturing in an LDC, namely in the production of heavy and light yarn and in the manufacture of sacking and hessian in Bangladesh.
