Techies and Firm Level Productivity

Harrigan, James; Reshef, Ariell; Toubal, Farid - 2023

We study the impact of techies—engineers and other technically trained workers—on firm-level productivity. We first …-neutral productivity in both manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries. We find that techies raise firm-level productivity, and this … of techies on productivity operates mostly through ICT and other techies, not R&D workers. Engineers have a greater …

Why are Pollution Damages Lower in Developed Countries? Insights from High-Income, High-Particulate Matter Hong Kong

Colmer, Jonathan; Liu, Siying; Lin, Dajun; Shimshack, Jay - 2021

Conventional wisdom suggests that marginal damages from particulate matter pollution are high in less-developed countries because they are highly polluted. Using administrative data on the universe of births and deaths, we explore birthweight and mortality effects of gestational particulate...

Climate Damages in Convergence-Consistent Growth Projections

Harding, Anthony; Moreno-Cruz, Juan; Quaas, Martin F.; … - 2023

Projections of climate change damages based on climate-econometric estimates suggest that, without mitigation, global warming could reduce average global incomes by over 20% towards the end of the century (Burke et al., 2015). This figure significantly surpasses climate damages in Integrated...

The information content of capacity utilisation rates for output gap estimates

Graff, Michael; Sturm, Jan-Egbert - 2010

From a theoretical perspective, the output gap is probably the most comprehensive and convincing concept to describe the cyclical position of an economy. Unfortunately, for practical purposes, the concept depends on the determination of potential output, which is an inherently unobservable...
