Measured productivity contributes more to the cycle in Europe … cyclical employment fluctuations. -- Intensive margin ; extensive margin ; productivity ; business cycles ; variance …

question whether this has led to productivity gains within firms. I address this question by combining industry-level data on … offshoring and domestic outsourcing with a firm panel. I find that offshoring of non-core activities has led to productivity … gains whereas offshoring of core activities and domestic outsourcing have had no such effects. The estimated productivity …

firms always have a higher market share, there is no monotonic relationship between firms' productivity level and their … effect'. Therefore, the incentive to add more products weakens as productivity rises. This leads to Lemma 3 in Feenstra and … evidence is in line with the results from the theoretical model. -- Multi-product firms ; productivity ; optimal product scope …

In the United States, labor's share of income falls after a positive disturbance to productivity growth or inflation …, and it remains low for some time. Previous researchers have argued that the negative relationship between productivity … wages would predict the observed behavior of labor's share after a productivity disturbance, and it also predicts the …

industry productivity and social welfare. For this purpose we develop a reciprocal dumping model of international trade with … heterogeneous firms and endogenous R&D. We identify two effects of trade liberalization on productivity: a direct effect through … low (high) trade costs; (ii) increases expected industry productivity; and (iii) raises expected social welfare if trade …
