Notes: ‘Growth’ is the real manufacturing output per worker growth rate computed annually over 1970-
99. Imports and exports to output are averages of total manufacturing imports and exports divided by
total manufacturing output. These summary statistics are calculated based on the sample used in the
cross-sectional regressions of Table 1.
