We study the impact of broadband availability on firms’ total factor productivity (TFP) using German firm-level data … between 2010 and 2015. We adopt a control function approach to causally identify and separately estimate productivity for 46 … firms’ productivity in manufacturing, it significantly increases TFP in most service sectors. Yet, the size of the effect is …

technological progress is much more evenly distributed across sectors than TFP. -- Total Factor Productivity ; Generalized Malmquist … Productivity Index ; sectoral technical change …

technology affects the efficiency and productivity in innovation of technology acquiring firms. Using the stochastic frontier … innovative productivity than non-acquiring firms do. Thus, this study provides evidence on complementarity between internal and … efficiency. Moreover, we find that firm size significantly contributes to innovative efficiency and productivity of external …

While productivity growth in electricity generation is associated with multiple positive effects from an economic and … environmental perspective, measuring it is challenging. This paper proposes a framework to estimate and decompose productivity … estimation based on stochastic non-smooth envelopment of data (StoNED) allows for productivity estimation with few microeconomic …

This paper, which is one of the first to estimate productivity in retail electricity for a European country after … services as the main inputs. A structural model is used with a proxy function for productivity to overcome the endogeneity of … input choice. Ownership is controlled for in the law of motion for productivity. The results of the dataset used to validate …

We analyze the link between R&D, innovation, and productivity in MSMEs with a special focus on micro firms with fewer … their labor productivity. Overall, the link between R&D, innovation, and productivity in micro firms does not largely differ …

To account for technological distance, we weight foreign knowledge … mainly drives productivity in the respective sector. -- Knowledge Spillover ; Total Factor Productivity ; Manufacturing …

The study focuses on the question of whether productivity estimates are biased due to the emergence of a new input that … is usually omitted: temporary agency worker (TAW). The study analyzes labor productivity and TFP by means of a structural … account, that: i) labor productivity in most manufacturing sectors is significantly lower; ii) average TFP differs …
