Abstract

The main goal of this article is to investigate the source of productivity growth for the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries, at the industry level, based on the Schumpeterian creative destruction mechanisms. Our study provides valuable insights into productivity drivers for the CEE countries, which are vital for the policy makers. To measure productivity, we calculate the Total factor Productivity (TFP) measure based on the raw labour, at the industry level. There is a substantial productivity gap at the industry level between the CEE and core European countries (EU14). The result of econometric analysis suggests that the further a country lies behind the frontier, the higher is the rate of TFP growth, i.e. the convergence process.
