Scholars have attempted to compile various multi-region input-output (MRIO) tables for different countries. However, due city-level data scarcity and methodology constraints, almost no MRIO table covers a large number of cities with more disaggregated sectors in countries economies, such as China. Based on two large-scale firm-level datasets, the China Annual Survey Industrial Firms (CASIF) sur...

Motivated by the question of which point-estimator digits to report in a statistical experiment, we study the probabilistic behavior of the digits as a function of the true performance measure and the point estimator's standard error. We investigate the family of Leading-Digit Rules, which guarantees that every unreported digit has correctness probability below a given threshold. We also propos...

This paper aims to provide the first investigation of the productivity effect of outsourcing by using the Korean industry data at the three-digit ISIC level. We find that there are positive productivity gains from material outsourcing. The impact of material outsourcing increases when we account for the share of imports from China. This is due to the growth of Chinese exports to Korea over the ...

Using a state-industry panel data set at the 3 digit national industrial classification (NIC) level of disaggregation for 19 major Indian states over the period 1983-84 to 2007-08, we analyze the contemporaneous and long run impacts of the rate of profit and its components – profit share, capacity utilization rate, and capacity-capital ratio – on investment. Our results show that: (a) the rate ...

We build a unique industry-level panel data set to estimate border effects with respect to U.S.Canada trade for each year from 1992 to 2005. Estimates from data aggregated at the province/state level yield border effects in the early 1990s that increase slightly and then decline after the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but significantly increase after 2001. R...

This paper provides data on the output and factor payments of new goods for every 4-digit industry in the U.S. manufacturing sector in the late 1970s and 1980s. For the entire manufacturing sector, the new goods’ average skilled-labor intensity exceeds the old goods’ by over 40%, and new goods can account for about 30% of the increase in the relative demand for skilled labor. Since new goods pr...
