Abstract
An analysis of a large panel data set on Israeli industrial firms find s that most of the growth in aggregate productivity comes from product ivity changes within firms rather than from entry, exit, or differenti al growth; that firms which will exit in the future have lower product ivity performance several years earlier (the 'shadow of death' effect) ; and that, overall, there was little total factor productivity growth in Israeli industry during 1979-1988 (another 'lost decade').
