Energy prices, pass-through, and incidence in U.S. manufacturing
Ganapati, Sharat; Shapiro, Joseph S.; Walker, Reed - 2016
This paper studies how increases in energy input costs for production are split between consumers and producers via changes in product prices (i.e., pass-through). We show that in markets characterized by imperfect competition, marginal cost pass-through, a demand elasticity, and a price-cost...

Inexpensive heating reduces winter mortality
Chirakijja, Janjala; Jayachandran, Seema; Ong, Pinchuan - 2019
This paper examines how the price of home heating affects mortality in the US. Exposure to cold is one reason that mortality peaks in winter, and a higher heating price increases exposure to cold by reducing heating use. It also raises energy bills, which could affect health by decreasing other...

Measurement of environmentally sensitive productivity growth in Korean industries
Chung, Yeimin; Heshmati, Almas - 2013
This study measures productivity growth using the Metafrontier Malmquist-Luenberger productivity growth index (MML index) method and decomposes the index. The results are compared with those obtained from the conventional Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) productivity growth index. MML has two...

Why is pollution from US manufacturing declining? : the roles of trade, regulation, productivity, and preferences
Shapiro, Joseph S.; Walker, Reed - 2015
, environmental regulation, productivity, and consumer preferences have contributed to these reductions in pollution emissions. We … estimate the model's key parameters using administrative data on plant-level production and pollution decisions. We then … pollution changes. Finally, we compare the model-driven decomposition to a statistical decomposition. The model and data suggest …

Panel data estimates of the production function and product and labor market imperfections
Dobbelaere, Sabien; Mairesse, Jacques - 2010
Consistent with two models of imperfect competition in the labor market, the efficient bargaining model and the monopsony model, we provide two extensions of a microeconomic version of Hall's framework for estimating price-cost margins. We show that both product and labor market imperfections...
