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 joint dynamics of the firm-level productivity and size distributions …

Approximation formulae are developed for the bias of ordinary andgeneralized Least Squares Dummy Variable (LSDV …) estimators in dynamicpanel data models. Results from Kiviet (1995, 1999) are extended tohigher-order dynamic panel data models … with general covariancestructure. The focus is on estimation of both short- and long-runcoefficients.
