Entrepreneurship culture, total factor productivity growth and technical progress: Patterns of convergence towards the technological frontier

A firm's set of knowledge processes may be affected by the entrepreneurial culture of the country in which it is located. Total factor productivity, mainly associated with technical progress, accounts for most differences over time and across countries. In the present work we examine the de...
