This paper studies the rqle of electricity and highways on the Mexican manufacturing sector. The paper uses a weighted aggregate in put of labor and capital (with weights equal to their share in costs) and a weighted measure of infrastructure to estimate jointly the elasticity of infrastructure...

By using a sample of 108 products across 118 supermarket stores, we study price competition among supermarkets. The study uses a modified version of the Staples dispute to define the estimation equations. We also include other statistical models to analyze price competition among supermarkets....

We estimate ordered probit models to analyze the determinants of supermarket entry. We use reduced form models in which de profits are function of observable variables. These variables influence cost and demand and therefore benefits. We use an ANTAD database that gives us the location of...

This paper estimate an index of returns to scale for the manufacturing industries. The estimation technique assume that the Solow residual is not intrinsically procyclical.To perform the estimation, the paper calculates an aggregate input of labor and capital with weights equal to the shares of...

This paper studies a stochastic patent race in which firms are allowed to undertake several projets aimend at the same innovation. The main result of the study shows that the market portfolio of projects is not invariant to the number of firms in a game of timing. This result also has...
