Abstract
This paper focuses on the manufacturing sector of specific economies to examine “why their growth rates differ”. The technology gap approach is adopted to show the relevant role of technological change on national manufacturing productivity growth. The productivity convergence hypothesis was partially supported by the results. The results also produce empirical evidence of the importance of the inputs of the technological gap model to countries at different levels of manufacturing development. The estimated models suggest that the input coefficients might be related to the gap of a country to the leader.
