That is a new and quite interesting paper by Thomas Philippon.

Great paper!! Though I am starting to wonder if there is a theme to mainstream econ of getting things last, i.e. later than other disciplines and public opinion.Some recent examples: importance of institutions, iraq war, climate change, power, inequality, now linear growth…

Very important paper about the patterns of Total Factor Productivity growth!

What a cool paper! A useful reference is the classic Alwyn Young paper finding that TFP growth was not extraordinary during the Asian growth miracles and much of the growth was factor accumulation
