Database consists of sectoral and aggregate labor productivity statistics for 103 countries, and nine sectors covering the period up to 2017. Compared with the earlier literature, it employs a larger and more diverse sample of countries. Database includes five main variables: 1. Nominal value added (current prices, local currency, millions), 2. Real value added (2010 constant prices, local currency, millions), 3. Employment (thousands), 4. Labor productivity (2010 constant prices, local currency, thousands), 5. Labor productivity (2011 international PPP exchange rate, thousands).
This code allows estimating the GPSTR model. Matsuoka (2022) makes a methodological contribution towards the generalized panel smooth transition regression (GPSTR) model by combining two approaches: the Panel smooth transition regression(PSTR) and the general logistic model (GLM).
