Does EdTech Substitute for Traditional Learning? Experimental Estimates of the Educational Production Function

Bettinger, Eric - 2020

Experimental studies rarely consider the shape and nature of the education production function, which is useful for deriving optimal levels of input substitution in increasingly resource constrained environments. Because of the rapid expansion of EdTech as a substitute for traditional learning...

Production Function and Wage Equation Estimation with Heterogeneous Labor : Evidence from a New Matched Employer-Employee Data Set

Hellerstein, Judith K. - 2004

In this paper, we first describe the 1990 DEED, the most recently constructed matched employer-employee data set for the United States that contains detailed demographic information on workers (most notably, information on education). We then use the data from manufacturing establishments in the...

Taxation and the Sources of Growth : Estimates from United States Multinational Corporations

Cummins, Jason G. - 1998

Capital income tax policy affects investment by the parent and affiliates of multinational corporations (MNCs). In a model in which technical advances are embodied in new capital, investment will translate directly into productivity gains. In this paper, I use this framework to guide the growth...

Experimental Estimates of Education Production Functions

Krueger, Alan B. - 1997

This paper analyzes data from Project STAR, an experiment in which 11,600 Tennessee kindergarten students and teachers were randomly assigned to one of three types of classes beginning in the 1985-86 school year: small classes (13-17 students), regular-size classes (22-25 students) teacher's...

Accounting for Growth With New Inputs

Feenstra, Robert C. - 1992

In this paper we examine how to account for growth when new inputs are being created. In particular, we obtain a decomposition of growth into that due to a higher quantity of existing inputs, and that due to a greater range of inputs. This decomposition is first obtained for a single firm, with...

Understanding the Role of Time-Varying Unobserved Ability Heterogeneity in Education Production

Ding, Weili - 2014

Unobserved ability heterogeneity has long been postulated to play a key role in human capital development. Traditional strategies to estimate education production functions do not allow for varying role or development of unobserved ability as a child ages. Such restrictions are highly...

Estimating Production Functions Using Inputs to Control for Unobservables

Levinsohn, James - 2000

We introduce a new method for conditioning out serially correlated unobserved shocks to the production technology by building ideas first developed in Olley and Pakes (1996). Olley and Pakes show how to use investment to control for correlation between input levels and the unobserved...

Measuring the "Ideas" Production Function : Evidence from International Patent Output

Porter, Michael E. - 2000

This paper estimates the parameters of the ideas' production function central to recent models of economic growth. We do so by evaluating the determinants of international' patenting rates across the OECD, where an international patent is one granted by the U.S. patent office to a foreign...

Production Function Estimation Using Subjective Expectations Data

Norris Keiller, Agnes; Paula, Áureo de; Van Reenen, John - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Standard methods for estimating production functions in the Olley and Pakes (1996) tradition require assumptions on input choices. We introduce a new method that exploits (increasingly available) data on a firm's expectations of its future output and inputs that allows us to obtain consistent...

Alternative Compensation Arrangements and Productive Efficiency in Partnerships : Evidence from Medical Group Practice

Gaynor, Martin - 1987

estimation. This technique provides direct estimates of productive efficiency and allows for differences across agents in ability … with theoretical work on internal theory of the firm, which predicts that productivity compensation schemes will work well … production, as theory has hypothesized. The number of members in a group decreases both the quantity produced and the efficiency …
