We augment Henderson, Storeygard, and Weil (2012)'s two-signal model of true income growth with a third signal to overcome its underidentification problem. The additional moment conditions from the third signal help fully identify all model parameters without ad-hoc calibrations of the GDP's...

We estimate long-run elasticities of substitution between intermediate inputs for Indian manufacturing plants. India's trade liberalization in the early 1990s provides an ideal natural policy experiment, with permanent and heterogeneous tariff reductions inducing changes in relative prices which...

aggregate production functions by deriving their first- and second-order properties. Our aggregation formulas provide non …-parameteric characterizations of the macro elasticities of substitution between factors and of the macro bias of technical change in terms of micro … sufficient statistics. They allow us to generalize existing aggregation theorems and to derive new ones. We relate our results to …

Explanations of procyclical productivity play a key role in a variety of business-cycle models. Most of these models … aggregate productivity changes into several terms, each of which has an economic interpretation. However, many of these terms …
