Total factor productivity can be accurately estimated as a regression residual

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that total factor productivity can be accurately estimated as a regression residual?

Yes. Total factor productivity is standardly estimated within economic literature using regression frameworks and production function residuals.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently treats total factor productivity (TFP) as something estimated via production functions, stochastic frontier analysis, or regression-based residual and control function approaches. None of the papers refute this foundational econometric practice.
