This paper employs a matched firm production-innovation panel dataset from Chile to explore the response of innovation increased competition arising China shock. The data cover wider range inputs and outputs than previously possible allow generating measures markups efficiency (TFPQ) that correspond closely concepts rents technological leadership envisaged in Schumpeterian literature. Except fo...

Applying the Foster, Haltiwanger, and Krizan (2001) decomposition to plant-level manufacturing data from Chile Korea, we find that entry exit of plants account for a larger fraction aggregate productivity growth during periods fast GDP growth. To analyze this relationship, develop model firm based on Hopenhayn (1992). When introduce reforms reduce costs or barriers technology adoption into cali...

This paper examines whether receipt of an RSA grant has a causal impact on plant TFP. To tackle the problem of self-selection into the treatment group, propensity score matching is employed. In order to control for the endogeneity of other variables in the model, estimations are performed using the system GMM estimator. The results show that for low technology manufacturing, receipt of an RSA g...

با توجه به اثر عوامل تصادفی مانند خرابی ماشین‌ها بر قدرت رقابتی سازمان‌های تولیدی، اهمیت برنامه‌ریزی تولید دوچندان شده است. لذا سیستم‌های تولیدی مستعد شکست برای مقابله این عدم قطعیت، پدید آمده‌اند. جهت حفظ سهم در بازار رقابت و افزایش بهره‌وری، صنعتی اسـتراتژی نگهداری تعمیرات به‌منظور کاهش نرخ قابلیت اطمینان روی آورده‌اند. ظرفیت تولید، فراهم­آوردن انعطاف‌پذیری بیشتر از رضایت‌مندی مشتری نظر کمیّت،...

How does rural-urban migration shape urban production in developing countries? We use longitudinal data on Chinese manufacturing firms between 2000 and 2006, exploit exogenous variation induced by agricultural income shocks for identification. find that, when immigration increases, becomes more labor intensive productivity declines. investigate the reorganization of using patent applications pr...

Industrial agglomeration policies may limit competition. We develop, validate, and apply a novel approach for measuring competition based on the comovement of markups market shares among firms in same location industry. Then we develop model how this reduction affects aggregate income. our to well-known special economic zones (SEZs) China. estimate that SEZs exhibit cooperative pricing almost t...

This paper studies the interaction between barriers to firm entry and distortions allocative efficiency in a standard model of dynamics. We derive strategy infer based on cross-country differences size distribution idiosyncratic distortions. The inferred resemble regulation-based indicators advanced economies but are substantially higher middle- low-income countries. Regulation-based cannot acc...

To what degree can labor reallocation mitigate the economic consequences of weather-driven agricultural productivity shocks? I estimate that temperature-driven reductions in demand for India are associated with increases nonagricultural employment. This suggests ability sectors to absorb workers may play a key role attenuating shocks. Exploiting firm-level variation propensity workers, relative...

Some multi-sector endogenous growth models make strong predictions about productivity differences across sectors in the form of a distribution or density function. In this paper it is demonstrated that this distribution is left-skewed for a wide range of plausible parameter values. This stands in strong contrast to the right-skewed shape of the respective empirical distribution estimated by ker...
