Product and Labor Market Imperfections and Scale Economies: Micro-Evidence on France, Japan and the Netherlands

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Kiyota, Kozo; Mairesse, Jacques - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

Allowing for three labor market settings (perfect competition or right-to-manage bargaining, efficient bargaining and monopsony), this paper relies on an extension of Hall's econometric framework for estimating simultaneously price-cost margins and scale economies. Using an unbalanced panel of...

Imports as Product and Labor Market Discipline

Boulhol, Hervé; Dobbelaere, Sabien; Maioli, Sara - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006

This paper tests the pro-competitive effect of trade in the product and labor markets of UK manufacturing sectors between 1988 and 2003 using a two-stage estimation procedure. In the first stage, we use data on 9820 firms from twenty manufacturing sectors to simultaneously estimate mark-up and...

Joint Estimation of Price-Cost Margins and Union Bargaining Power for Belgian Manufacturing

Dobbelaere, Sabien - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005

This paper extends Hall's (1988) methodology to analyse imperfections in both the product and the labour market for firms in the Belgian manufacturing industry over the period 1988- 1995. We investigate the heterogeneity in price-cost mark-up and workers' bargaining power parameters among 18...

Panel Data Estimates of the Production Function and Product and Labor Market Imperfections

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Mairesse, Jacques - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2010

Consistent with two models of imperfect competition in the labor market, the efficient bargaining model and the monopsony model, we provide two extensions of a microeconomic version of Hall's framework for estimating price-cost margins. We show that both product and labor market imperfections...

Cross-Sectional Heterogeneity in Price-Cost Margins and the Extent of Rent Sharing at the Sector and Firm Level in France

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Mairesse, Jacques - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005

This paper studies cross-sectional heterogeneity in price-cost margins and the extent of rent sharing among 48 sectors and 10738 (mainly manufacturing) firms in France. At the sectoral level, the average price-cost mark-up and the average extent of rent sharing amount to 1.701 and 0.368...

Allocation of Human Capital and Innovation at the Frontier: Firm-Level Evidence on Germany and the Netherlands

Bartelsman, Eric; Dobbelaere, Sabien; Peters, Bettina - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

This paper examines how productivity effects of human capital and innovation vary at different points of the …-skilled employees and industries in Germany by a more unequal distribution of human capital intensity. Except for low-technology … manufacturing, average innovation performance is higher in all industries in Germany and the innovation performance distributions …
