This paper analyses for 34 OECD countries the extent to which the calculation of aggregate multi-factor productivity …

While the output of a team is evident, the productivity of each team member is typically not readily identifiable. In … this paper we consider the problem of measuring the productivity of team members. We propose a new concept of coworker … productivity, which we refer to as eigenvalue productivity (EVP). We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of our concept and …

In poor countries, labor productivity in agriculture is considerably lower than in the rest of the economy. We assess … than through labor productivities. Third, labor productivity in agriculture is severely mis-measured in the US …

This paper characterizes the dynamic empirical properties of country export capabilities in order to inform modelling … heavy-tailed distribution of industry export capabilities that is approximately log normal and whose shape is stable across … productivities. We establish that mean reversion in export capability, rather than indicative of convergence in productivities or …

However, selecting high export potentials is difficult in practice. The contribution of this paper is to … characterize and identify these (high) export potentials. According to the Melitz (2003) model, potential exporters have to be …

Why is it that exporter productivity premia (EPP) differ so widely in size? We take this question to the theory and to … EPPs across sectors, and hence across countries, can be explained by the variation in productivity dispersion, trade costs …
