Abstract: The literature traditionally measures total factor productivity (hereafter TFP) as Solow residual. This paper introduces the dual approach into the growth accounting exercise. Theoretically, the numbers of TFP by the two different kinds of method are identical. Practically, the dual approach only requires data on factor payment and factor price, which are statistically available. Just for its convenience, the dual approach has recently resurged, but there has been in dark in the domestic literature of growth accounting. Therefore, the paper redoes growth accounting exercise by the dual approach. The resulting assumptions, adjustments applied unavoidably in our study and the corresponding comparisons are documented.
