Using a unique plant-level dataset we examine total factor productivity (TFP) growth and its components, related to …

Carlo evidence suggests that the quadratic specification more precisely represents technology. …

We develop a procedure to estimate production functions, elasticities of demand, and productivity when firms …

The model implies that (i) the so-far untreated effect stems from firms' planned efficiency responses to the … competitive environment and that (ii) a suit-able proxy to productivity is investment interacted with a sector-level competition …-effects estimation and remedying commonly suspected biases.

Rethinking the foundations of Heckscher-Ohlin theory when countries have different technologies, this paper shows how … to make the proper adjustments for international productivity differences. The central tool is a factor conversion matrix …
