Estimating Production Functions When Productivity Change Is Endogenous∗
Production function estimation on micro data suffers from persistent unobserved shocks that vary within firms and cause bias. This paper presents an estimation model where the firm chooses capital investment and productivityrelevant intangible assets in response to market conditions under partly fixed adjustment costs. Estimation on Brazilian manufacturing firm data suggests that (i) firms’ uno...
متن کاملEstimating Production Functions with Heterogeneous Firms
We present a new approach to the estimation of production functions that allows for richer patterns of firm heterogeneity than can be accommodated under the proxy variable methods of Olley and Pakes (1996) and Levinsohn and Petrin (2003). In particular, we show that the economics of the firms static input choice contains the necessary identifying information to control for the endogeneity probl...
متن کاملStatistical Inference When Classroom Quality is Measured With Error
A dramatic shift in research priorities has recently produced a large number of ambitious randomized trials in K-12 education. In most cases, the aim is to improve student academic learning by improving classroom instruction. Embedded in these studies are theories about how the quality of classroom must improve if these interventions are to succeed. The problem of measuring classroom quality th...
متن کاملEstimating South African industry production functions with measurement error and parameter heterogeneity
Production functions are estimated for South African industries using a novel industry panel dataset that combines education and employment data from a series of household surveys with output and physical capital data from the South African Reserve Bank Quarterly Bulletins. We are particularly interested in estimating the effect of education on worker productivity. The analysis starts by explor...
متن کاملEstimating Transfer Functions with SigLab
Accurate transfer function estimation of linear, noise-free, dynamic systems is an easy task for SigLabTM. Often, however, the system being analyzed is noisy or not perfectly linear. All realworld systems suffer from these deficiencies to some degree, but control systems are usually the worst offenders. Obtaining an accurate transfer function estimation from a noisy and nonlinear system require...
