The asterisk means that each variable so denoted is expressed as a percentage rate of change,
............
A* =P* + K*. (1)
In the computations, equation (1 ) was calculated in its logarithmic form;
that is, all the starred terms were defined as logs of the compound rates of
change. The rate of change in productivity(A) is then obtained by taking
antilogs, subtracting 1 from the result, and multiplying by 100.
其中, the compound rates of change, 是A(T)/A(T-1) 的含义吗?啥意思?谢谢!
