These models imply that measured productivity may initially fall and then later rise after the adoption of a new technology. This paper investigates whether or not this implication is a feature of plant-level data from the Colombian manufacturing sector. We regress measures of productivity growth at the plant level on a plant-specific measure of technology adoption and its lagged values. We find that..."^^; "1998-09"; "2018-03-29T18:22:59.629073462+00:00"^^; ; "2021-01-15T22:38:56.24656317+00:00"^^; "Conference Proceeding"; "580", "351"; "Productivity and the industrial revolution"; "South America", "Productivity", "Embodied", "Technology", "Manufacturing", "Latin America", "Colombia"; ; ; ; ; "Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
