Productivity estimates for South Africa from CES production functions

Daan Steenkamp

No 8937, Working Papers from South African Reserve Bank

Abstract: This paper provides estimates of the elasticity of substitution and total factor productivity (TFP) for South Africa. Estimates are based on constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production functions. Estimates of potential output and the output gap implied by different CES model specifications are also compared to those from other models.
