The Impact of Covid-19 on Productivity
Bloom, Nicholas; Bunn, Phillip; Mizen, Paul; Smietanka, … - 2022
We analyse the impact of Covid-19 on productivity using data from an innovative monthly firm survey panel that asks for … quantitative impacts of Covid on inputs and outputs. We find total factor productivity (TFP) fell by up to 5% during 2020–21. The … overall impact combined large reductions in ‘within-firm’ productivity, with an offsetting positive ‘between-firm’ effects as …

Trade Induced Technical Change? The Impact of Chinese Imports on Innovation, IT and Productivity
Bloom, Nicholas; Draca, Mirko; Reenen, John Van - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2011
We examine the impact of Chinese import competition on broad measures of technical change - patenting, IT, R&D, TFP and management practices - using new panel data across twelve European countries between 1996-2007. We correct for endogeneity using the removal of product-specific quotas...

We examine the impact of Chinese import competition on patenting, IT, R&D and TFP using a panel of up to half a million firms over 1996-2007 across twelve European countries. We correct for endogeneity using the removal of product-specific quotas following China’s entry into the World Trade...
