In this paper we ask how technological differences in manufacturing production across countries can best be modeled when using a standard production function approach. We emphasise the importance of allowing for differences in the impact of observables and unobservables across countries, as well as of data time-series properties. Our novel two-stage estimator, similar to the Pesaran (2006) Common Correlated Effects approach, can account for these matters. Empirical results and diagnostic testing provide strong sup-port for technology heterogeneity. Results are supported when we adopt an econometric approach allowing for reverse causality. In the light of these findings the interpretatio
