It may be that Gennan industry does not distinguish between domestic and international demand shocks because there has been relatively little increase in globalization over the sample period. The fact that domestic demand variables are also not important in explaining variations in productivity growth suggests that factors such as domestic regulation may be the driving force behind changes in trend productivity growth. 3 (Summer): 57-80. COMMENT George Johnson * The most interesting aspect of this paper is its rather bold attempt to investigate the effect of globalization on the productivity of manufacturing industries in the United States and Germany. A second aspect of the paper concerns the potential effect of globalization on the procyclical nature of productivity growth. My comments will concentrate on the first question. There is now a large literature (growing so fast that it will soon be voluminous) on the question of why, in virtually all industrialized countries, the pattern of labor demand has been shifting toward relatively skilled workers (those with relatively high levels of education and other human capital characteristics) at such a rapid rate since the 1970s.
