Restructuring and Productivity Growth in UK Manufacturing

Abstract: We analyse productivity growth in UK manufacturing 1980‐92 using the newly available ARD panel of establishments drawn from the Census of Production. We examine the contribution to productivity growth of ‘internal’ restructuring (such as new technology and organisational change among survivors) and ‘external’ restructuring (exit, entry and market share change). We find that (a) ‘external restructuring’ accounts for 50% of establishment labour productivity growth and 80–90% of establishment TFP growth; (b) much… Show more

“…One way of assessing the impact of new firms or establishments on economic performance is to estimate the contribution of entries and exits on productivity (see BALDWIN, 1995;DISNEY, HASKEL and HEDEN, 2003;FOSTER, HALTIWANGER and KRIZAN, 2001, and the review by CAVES, 1998). A standard result of this type of analysis is that a considerable part of the productivity improvement can be attributed to the entry of new units with aboveaverage productivity and the exit of units with relatively low productivity.…”

“…A standard result of this type of analysis is that a considerable part of the productivity improvement can be attributed to the entry of new units with aboveaverage productivity and the exit of units with relatively low productivity. A significant portion of improvements in productivity is due to the turnover of units and takes place within multi-plant firms that close down low-productivity plants and set up highly efficient new ones (DISNEY, HASKEL and HEDEN, 2003).…”

“…Research shows (CMA, 2015) that in private markets at least half of the increase in productivity over time arises from the exit of less productive firms and the entry of new and more productive firms (for example, Disney et al, 2003). New providers that enter the market may offer a different, innovative service or provide a service that better meets particular needs.…”
