For the economic development of any country, productivity is an issue that must be fully understood, addressed, and pursued. This report provides, for the first time, a broad set of scientific evidence on Ethiopia’s productivity, for use by policymakers as well as those interested in the Ethiopian economy and its growth history and future directions. We examine both economy-wide productivity and the productivity of the manufacturing sector with its sub-sector details. Among many productivity indicators, labor productivity and total factor productivity (TFP) are featured as the most appropriate measures for policy attention and also as the most frequently cited and compared data types across countries. The two main analytical methods used here are the decomposition of labor productivity into capital deepening and TFP and the shift-share analysis of labor productivity—explained below and in the main text.
