Abstract: We have tried to identify factors responsible for the differential in productivity between the small-scale and the large-scale manufacturing industries in Pakistan. Using a labour productivity equation derived from a Cobb-Douglas production function, we find the differentials on account of capital intensity, wages and vertical integration to be important determinants of the differential in productivity between the two sectors, while the differential in size does not emerge as an important factor.
