We adopt a counterfactual approach to decompose labor productivity growth into growth of Technological Productivity (TEP), growth of the capital-labor ratio and growth of Total Factor Productivity (TFP). We bring the decomposition to the data using international countrysectoral information...

This paper considers the continuous-treatment case and develops nonparametric estimators for the average dose-response function, the treatment level at which this function is maximized (location of the maximum), and the maximum value achieved by this function (size of the maximum). These...

This paper provides a general framework for the quantitative analysis of stochastic dynamic models. We review convergence properties of some numerical algorithms and available methods to bound approximation errors. We then address convergence and accuracy properties of the simulated moments. Our...
