Abstract
The gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of South Korea has declined since 2011 mainly due to dampened growth in total factor productivity (TFP). By studying changes in productivity growth from 2006 to 2015 with firm-level microdata, this paper shows that a decrease in allocative efficiency across firms can account for the recent dampened aggregate productivity growth and that most of a decrease in allocative efficiency since 2011 can be attributed to firms affiliated with business groups subject to the limitation on cross-shareholding designated by the Fair Trade Commission. Given the fact that business groups’ shares in input markets have been steadily rising, the economic concentration of business groups can be a main factor in the recent misallocations, which give rise to the diminished economic dynamism and dampened TFP growth of South Korea.
