reflect average rates of growth and persistent effects from initial conditions, such as longrun trends. The effects of all other shocks are included in the nontechnology category. The estimation used for the historical decomposition includes labor productivity in growth rates. This is because the effects of initial conditions can be substantial in unitroot or highly persistent processes such as labor productivity levels. In the estimation on growth rates, the change in the contribution of the initial condition over time is minimal given the stationary nature of productivity growth.
