Abstract
This thesis examines the relationship between productivity growth and industrial policy using J.S. data from 1948 to 1981. A growth accounting model is used to study productivity growth and the recent productivity slowdown. Beth sides of the industrial policy debate are offered. The analysis of the productivity slowdown is then applied to the industrial policy debate to see if the establishment of the latter could have avoided the former. The thesis purports a negative response to the question.
