Note(s): The table shows the median technical change. The P25-P75 range shows technical range at the percentiles of 25 and 75% of the overall distribution, calculated at the median employment coefficients. The long-term multiplier for the reported short-term effects is 1/(1-aY) from (11), where αY is the coefficient of the lagged value added
