The limiting distribution of production in integrated economies : evidence from US states and EU countries
Bowen, Harry P.; Munandar, Haris; Viaene, Jean-Marie - 2006
We show that in a fully integrated economy, in which there is free mobility of goods and factors, each member’s share of total output will equal its shares of total stocks of productive factors (i.e., physical and human capital). We label this result the equal-share relationship. This...

Ageing and the relative price of nontradeables
Bettendorf, Leon; Dewachter, Hans - 2007
In this paper we identify the effects of ageing on the relative price of nontradeables versus tradeables. We consider two cases. In a first specification, age effects only account for short-run dynamics. An alternative case allows for permanent age effects. Estimating the respective cases by...

Panel data estimates of the production function and product and labor market imperfections
Dobbelaere, Sabien; Mairesse, Jacques - 2010
Embedding the efficient bargaining model into the R. Hall (1988) approach for estimating price-cost margins shows that both imperfections in the product and labor markets generate a wedge between factor elasticities in the production function and their corresponding shares in revenue. This...

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

Profit shifting and productivity mismeasurement
Bartelsman, Eric J.; Beetsma, Roel - 2000
This note identifies profit shifting in response to cross-countrydifferences in corporate tax rates as a source of productivitymismeasurement. To quantify the magnitude of mismeasurement, theprofit-shifting effect is isolated from other possible effects ofcorporatetax rates changes on real...

Spatial patterns of technology diffusion : an empirical analysis using TFP
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond J. … - 2004
In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...

Assessing the impact of trade policy on labor markets and production
Francois, Joseph F. - 2004
This paper discusses the measurement of production and employment effects of trade policy, and more broadly the effects of economic integration and globalization. First, it provides a broad-brush overview of the ex-post literature linking trade to performance, such as measures of worker...
