Dynamic models of R&D, innovation and productivity : panel data evidence for Dutch and French manufacturing
Raymond, Wladimir; Mairesse, Jacques; Mohnen, Pierre A.; … - 2013
This paper introduces dynamics in the R&D to innovation and innovation to productivity relationships, which have mostly … conditional mean of labor productivity: through an observed binary indicator, an observed intensity variable or through the … Community Innovation Survey. The results provide evidence of robust unidirectional causality from innovation to productivity and …

Nonparametric welfare analysis for discrete choice : levels and differences of individual and social welfare
Capéau, Bart; De Sadeleer, Liebrecht; Maes, Sebastiaan; … - 2021
Empirical welfare analyses often impose stringent parametric assumptions on individuals' preferences and neglect unobserved preference heterogeneity. In this paper, we develop a framework to conduct individual and social welfare analysis for discrete choice that does not suffer from these...

Financing conditions, the concept of innovation capacity and the innovative activity of firms
Paula, Georg - 2010
In this paper a novel survey dataset allows us to use a direct measure for credit constraints as well as a direct measure for the innovative activity of a firm to identify the effects of credit constraints on the innovation behaviour of firms. Furthermore, the design of the survey questions and...

Firm-productivity and export under non-constant marginal costs
Mukherjee, Arijit - 2016
Recent theoretical research shows that exporters are more productive than nonexporters. We show that this result holds almost trivially for the case of constant marginal cost of production, as mainly assumed in the literature, but it may not hold true if the marginal cost is not constant. Our...

Trade liberalization, input intermediaries and firm productivity : evidence from China
Defever, Fabrice; Imbruno, Michele; Kneller, Richard - 2019
We investigate theoretically and empirically the role of wholesalers in mediating the productivity effects of trade … liberalization. Intermediaries provide indirect access to foreign produced inputs. The productivity effects of input tariff cuts on … firms experience productivity gains from reducing input tariffs if trade intermediation of foreign inputs within their …

The origins of firm heterogeneity : a production network approach
Bernard, Andrew B.; Dhyne, Emmanuel; Magerman, Glenn; … - 2019
This paper quantifies the origins of firm size heterogeneity when firms are interconnected in a production network. Using the universe of buyer-supplier relationships in Belgium, the paper develops a set of stylized facts that motivate a model in which firms buy inputs from upstream suppliers...

Heterogeneous firms and international trade : the role of productivity and financial fragility
Assenza, Tiziana; Delli Gatti, Domenico; Grazzini, Jakob; … - 2016
Starting from the premise that productivity is heterogeneous across firms, Melitz (2003) explains why individual … productivity is key in determining the capability of a firm to export. In this paper we build a model along Melitz's lines to show … international markets. We show that firms with low productivity may still be able to penetrate foreign markets provided they have …

The importance of consumer taste in trade
Aw, Bee-yan; Lee, Yi; Vandenbussche, Hylke - 2019
This paper documents the importance of consumer taste in trade flows using Belgian firm-product customs data by destination. We identify consumer taste through the use of a control function approach and estimate it jointly with other demand parameters using a very flexible demand specification....

Quantifying consumer taste in trade : evidence from the food industry
Aw, Bee-yan; Lee, Yi; Vandenbussche, Hylke - 2023
This paper develops an empirical model of consumer taste in twenty-nine Belgium food industries for the period from 1998-2005 to generate a "taste distance" measure of over 1,800 firm-product exports to 53 country destinations. We estimate consumer taste using a control function approach and...
