We analyze productivity and worker attitudes in five plants in the UK and US belonging to the same multinational … had an impact on productivity and profitability. We find that the UK plant's productivity and worker satisfaction was well …

This paper estimates the relationship between agglomeration and multi factor productivity at the one digit industry … variables and may understate the true causal effect of agglomeration on productivity. We thus rely on the "within local industry … the level of local industries or enterprises. We obtain a cross-sectional agglomeration elasticity of 0.171, which falls …

factor productivity (‘agglomeration elasticities’): the sorting of heterogeneous firms, the convexity of agglomeration …This paper examines three key issues encountered when estimating the relationship between agglomeration and multi … dimensions, and to estimate separate agglomeration elasticities across industries and regions. Sorting leads to upward biased …

how attributes of MNEs and non-MNEs differ, and how these differences affect the productivity and export intensity. It … also shows how agglomeration economies affect MNEs and non-MNEs. …

This paper presents an exploratory analysis of the relation between where a firm is located and its productivity. The … analysis distinguishes two location characteristics measured at the municipality level: local agglomeration measured by … between both local population density and market potential and firm-level productivity. The results further indicate that …
