Estimating Verdoorn law for Italian firms and regions
Fazio, Giorgio; Maltese, Enza; Piacentino, Davide - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
In empirical regional economics, returns to scale are typically estimated at the regional level in search for evidence on alternative theories of growth and agglomeration. However, returns to scale may also have a firm-level dimension. In this paper, we exploit micro level data and estimate the...

A Spatial Multilevel Analysis of Italian SMEs' Productivity
Fazio, Giorgio; Piacentino, Davide - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 5 (2010) 3, pp. 299-316
Abstract In this paper, we adapt multilevel analysis methods to investigate the spatial variability of SMEs' productivity across the Italian territory, and account for differences in the socio-economic context. Our results suggest that to properly capture the variability of the data, it is...

The verdoorn law at the regional level: evidence from europe
Fazio, Giorgio; Maltese, Enza; Piacentino, Davide - In: RIVISTA DI ECONOMIA E STATISTICA DEL TERRITORIO 2014/2 (2014) 2, pp. 34-47
In quest’articolo utilizziamo diverse metodologie per stimare l’equazione di Verdoorn con l’obiettivo di saggiare l’ipotesi della presenza di rendimenti crescenti di scala nel settore manifatturiero nelle regioni europee NUTS-2 per l’intervallo temporale 1995-2006. Estendiamo...

Production and Efficiency in 21 Industrialized Countries from 1966 to 2007 to Analyse the Italy's Decline: Application of a Stochastic Frontier Model in a Bayesian Approach
VASSALLO, Erasmo - In: Rivista Italiana degli Economisti 13 (2008) 3, pp. 339-366
We use a stochastic frontier production model to estimate the technical efficiency of the 21 more industrialized countries in the world for the wide period from 1966 to 2007. A Cobb-Douglas function with labour and capital as inputs, GDP as output and an efficiency term with exponential...
