      abstract = {In this paper, we report our results in measuring total  factor productivity (TFP) growth in the New Zealand primary  and downstream manufacturing sectors. Our results showed  strong TFP growth in the agriculture sector during  1988-2006 (2.7 percent per year). Forestry and logging’s  TFP grew at a lower rate (1.5 percent) which is similar to  that of the economy average. Both downstream manufacturing  sectors’ TFP grew at lower rates than the primary sectors  and the economy average (being 1.1 and -0.1 percent  respectively).},
