Forecasting aggregate productivity using information from firm-level data
Bartelsman, Eric J.; Wolf, Zoltán - 2009
This paper contributes to the productivity literature by using results from firm-level productivity studies to improve forecasts of macro-level productivity growth. The paper employs current research methods on estimating firm-level productivity to build times-series components that capture the...

Capital-energy substitution and shifts in factor demand : a meta-analysis
Koetse, Mark J.; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond … - 2006
This paper presents results of a meta-regression analysis on empirical estimates of capital-energy substitution … capital-energy substitution, they are almost entirely outweighed by the negative income effect brought about by energy price … pattern does not hold. Our findings therefore suggest that actual changes in the demand for capital due to energy price …

Materials, capital, direct/indirect substitution and mass balance production functions
Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. van den - 1998
A foundation is provided for a correct and accurate analysis of the relationship between monetary values and physical dimensions in economic production. A distinction is proposed between direct and indirect substitution. Linked to this, a classification is offered of various types of...

The elasticities of complementarity and substitution
Broer, Dirk Peter - 2004
This paper argues that the conventional definition of the elasticity of complementarity is not well suited to deal with the case of increasing returns. It proposes a slightly different formula, that uses a distance function formulation instead of a production function. The proposed definition...

Total factor productivity and the Mongolian transition
Chessa, Antonio G.; Schouwstra, Marije C. - 2005
Total Factor Productivity (TFP)is often used on the macro-economic level as an indicator of changes in efficiency of a country. In many transition economies TFP is seen to have been negative the last decade of the plan economy and starts increasing and become positive after a (quite a) few years...

Technological inefficiency and the skewness of the error component in stochastic frontier analysis
Carree, Martin Anthony - 2002
This paper concentrates on negatively skewed one-sided distributions as an explanation of the occurrence of positive (negative) skewness in the case of stochastic production (cost) frontieranalysis. It takes as example the binomial distribution that can have negative or positive skewand derives...
