The Matching Efficiency of Regional Labour Markets A Stochastic Production Frontier Estimation, France 1990-1995
Ibourk, Aomar; Maillard, Bénédicte; Perelman, Sergio; … - 2001
We evaluate the determinants of matching efficiency changes through a stochastic Cobb- Douglas production frontier model extended to allow the efficiency coefficient to depend on variables meant to capture workers and firms characteristics. We apply this methodology to examine regional...

Micro-evidence on rent sharing from different perspectives
Dobbelaere, Sabien; Mairesse, Jacques - 2010
This article provides evidence of rent sharing from orthogonal directions by exploiting different dimensions in the same data. Taking advantage of a rich matched employer-employee dataset for France over the period 1984-2001, we consistently compare across-industry heterogeneity in rent-sharing...

Treating equals unequally: incentives in teams, workers' motivation and production technology
Goerg, Sebastian J.; Kube, Sebastian; Zultan, Ro'i - 2009
The importance of fair and equal treatment of workers is at the heart of the debate in organizational management. In this regard, we study how reward mechanisms and production technologies affect effort provision in teams. Our experimental results demonstrate that unequal rewards can potentially...

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...

Econometric Mediation Analyses: Identifying the Sources of Treatment Effects from Experimentally Estimated Production Technologies with Unmeasured and Mismeasured Inputs
Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo - 2013
This paper presents an econometric mediation analysis. It considers identification of production functions and the sources of output effects (treatment effects) from experimental interventions when some inputs are mismeasured and others are entirely omitted.

Corporate R&D and firm efficiency: evidence from Europe's top R&D investors
Kumbhakar, Subal C.; Ortega-Argilés, Raquel; Potters, … - 2009
The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of corporate R&D activities on firms' performance, measured by labour productivity. To this end, the stochastic frontier technique is applied, basing the analysis on a unique unbalanced longitudinal dataset consisting of 532 top...

When, where and how to perform efficiency estimation
Badunenko, Oleg; Henderson, Daniel J.; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2011
In this paper we compare two flexible estimators of technical efficiency in a cross-sectional setting: the nonparametric kernel SFA estimator of Fan, Li and Weersink (1996) to the nonparametric bias corrected DEA estimator of Kneip, Simar and Wilson (2008). We assess the finite sample...
