This paper is the first to estimate the impact of a direct measure of firm-level upstreamness on productivity, wage … that if upstreamness increases by one step (that is, by approximately, one standard deviation), productivity rises on … average by 5%. They also indicate that productivity gains associated to upstreamness are shared almost equally between wages …

This paper is the first to investigate the role of firm-level upstreamness (i.e. the number of steps before the … upstreamness is also found to vary substantially depending on the origin of the workers. Unconditional quantile estimates suggest …. Quantile decompositions further show that, while differences in average values of upstreamness according to workers' origin …
