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...

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...
