TL;DR: A study employing Solow's method indicated a rise in the index of technological change of 50% between 1940 and 1960 for the pulp and paper industry as discussed by the authors. This compares with a 547% increase for the chemical industry.
Abstract: The pulp and paper industry is generally considered the most technologically progressive of the forest industries. A study employing Solow's method indicated a rise in the index of technological change of 50% between 1940 and 1960. This compares with a 547% increase for the chemical industry. Derivation of the capital production function for the pulp and paper industries shows that all increases in productivity, 1940–1960, were due to change in technology. There is also some indication that optimal plant size has been reached.
