We follow the production function approach to assess markups, which requires the estimation of the output elasticity of … hours as free input. We find rather stable markups in the Netherlands in the period 2006-2016. We show that extending the …

I estimate the effects of two Canadian internal trade liberalizations on plant-level productivity, markups, and exports … productivity and markups for 2004-2012. Then, using difference-in-differences methods, I find that the NWPTA increased the … plant-level total factor productivity but had no significant impact on plant-level markups. The agreement raised the average …

These differences stem from firm-level variation in demand elasticities driven by … individual firm prices and markups respond to cost and demand changes. This allows us to analyze empirically heterogeneity in …
