Market Structure and Productivity: A Concrete Example

Syverson, Chad - Census Bureau, Department of Commerce - 2001

This paper shows that imperfect output substitutability explains part of the observed persistent plant-level productivity dispersion. Specifically, as substitutability in a market increases, the market’s productivity distribution exhibits falling dispersion and higher central tendency. The...

Pollution Abatement Costs, Regulation And Plant-Level Productivity

Gray, Wayne B; Shadbegian, Ronald J - Census Bureau, Department of Commerce - 1994

We analyze the connection between productivity, pollution abatement expenditures, and other measures of environmental regulation for plants in three industries (paper, oil, and steel). We examine data from 1979 to 1990, considering both total factor productivity levels and growth rates. Plants...

When Do Firms Shift Production Across States to Avoid Environmental Regulation?

Shadbegian, Ronald J; Gray, Wayne B - Census Bureau, Department of Commerce - 2001

This paper examines whether a firm's allocation of production across its plants responds to the environmental regulation faced by those plants, as measured by differences in stringency across states. We also test whether sensitivity to regulation differs based on differences across firms in...
