چکیده
We apply a growth accounting approach to estimate the contribution potential output in Italy by firms with different characteristics. do so exploiting time series obtained aggregating individual firm data. Results show that during double-dip recession smaller provided strongest negative growth, while recovery was driven big ones. Young always give positive contribution. Growth within sectors is main driver of dynamic both aggregate trend total factor productivity and capital labor ratio. Looking at sectoral composition effects, between 2014 2018 lower deepening have increased their share economy, holding back figures.

Growth Accounting, Potential Output, and the Current Recession
Total factor productivity—a measure of the efficiency with which labor and capital are used—has fallen during the current recession. But, after adjustment for lower utilization of labor and capital, such productivity has risen strongly over the past two years. These growth-accounting measures suggest that efficiency gains have continued during the recession, boding well for long-term economic g...
متن کاملA Quantile Regression Approach to Firm Growth
This paper explores the firm growth rate distribution in a Gibrat's Law context. The aim is to provide an empirical exploration of the determinants of firm growth. The work is novel in two respects. First, rather than limiting the analysis to focus on the conditional mean growth level, we investigate the complete shape of the distribution. Second, we show that the differences in the firm growth...
متن کاملEstimating Potential Output: a semi-structural approach
As part of the new macroeconomic modelling project at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, considerable effort has been directed towards constructing an historical estimate of the productive capacity of the New Zealand economy. The technique documented in this paper augments the stochastic-trend estimation approach of the Hodrick-Prescott (1997) filter with information from broad macroeconomic rela...
متن کاملForecasting Manufacturing Output Growth Using Firm-Level Survey Data∗
Traditionally forecasts of macroeconomic aggregates are extracted from prospective qualitative survey data by relating official data on the aggregate to both the proportion of survey respondents who are “optimists” and the proportion who are “pessimists”. But there is no reason to focus on these proportions to the exclusion of other possible means of aggregating and quantifying the underlying p...
متن کاملAccounting Discretion, Corporate Governance and Firm Performance
We investigate whether accounting discretion is (i) abused by opportunistic managers who exploit lax governance structures, or (ii) used by managers in a manner consistent with efficient contracting and shareholder value-maximization. Prior research documents an association between accounting discretion and poor governance quality and concludes that such evidence is consistent with abuse of the...
