National and international developments in technology – Trends, patterns and implications for policy

Koopmann, Georg; Münnich, Felix - 1999

Declining R&D intensities at the national level coincide with growing international technological links. Deviations of individual OECD countries from the average R&D intensity reflect differences in industry structure as well as in sectoral R&D intensity. At the same time, the sectoral...

What Causes Cross-industry Differences of Technical Efficiency? An Empirical Investigation

Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2004

Using micro-level panel data of about 35,000 firms from the German Cost Structure Census, we analyze the differences of technical efficiency across industries. Technical efficiency is estimated by firms? fixed effects. One striking result is that the distribution of technical efficiency across...

What drives the productive efficiency of a firm? The importance of industry, location, R&D, and size

Badunenko, Oleg; Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2008

This paper investigates the factors that explain the level and dynamics of manufacturing firm productive efficiency. In our empirical analysis, we use a unique sample of about 39,000 firms in 256 industries from the German Cost Structure Census over the years 1992-2005. We estimate the...
