Abstract: Manufacturing has historically played a significant role in productivie and R&D. Jorenson (2001) suggests that advances in microprocessors alone were associated with 50 percent of total factor productivity growth in the US and worldwide in the 1990s. This outsided role in R&D and productivity appears to continue today, even with significant changes across the sector in technology and globalization. US manufacturing is a disproportionate source of private R&D spending relative to its share of employment and global value aded (GVA) and has higher an average labor productivity relative to other sectors.
