Capital-skill complementarity : evidence from manufacturing industries in Ghana

Akay, Gokhan H.; Yuksel, Mutlu - 2009

purpose of this study is to determine whether the capital-skill complementarity framework holds for Ghana manufacturing plants … in industry and aggregate level. We use an unbalanced panel of plant-level data for manufacturing firms in Ghana during … suggest that capital-skill complementarity holds in aggregate level and wood-furniture sector in Ghana. However, we reject the …

Rejecting capital-skill complementarity at all costs

Frondel, Manuel; Schmidt, Christoph M. - 2001

Any serious empirical study of factor substitutability has to allow the data to display complementarity as well as substitutability. The standard approach reflecting this idea is a translog specification - this is also the approach used by numerous studies analyzing the relative capital-skill...

Curvature conditions and substitution pattern among capital, energy, materials and heterogeneous labour

Falk, Martin; Koebel, Bertrand M. - 1999

This study deals with the determinants of factor demand in 27 industries of the manufacturing sector during the period 1978 to 1990. Using a quadratic cost function, six production factors are distinguished : capital, energy, three types of labour and intermediate materials. A parametric test of...

Substitution elasticities between capital, labour, material, electricity and fossil fuels in German producing and service sectors

Koschel, Henrike - 2000

In this paper, substitutional relationships between capital, labour, material, electricity, and fossil fuels in German producing and service sectors are estimated using a translog cost function. Estimates are based on a pooled time-series cross-sectional data sample for the period 1978-90 and...

People and machines : a look at the evolving relationship between capital and skill in manufacturing 1860 - 1930 using immigration shocks

Lafortune, Jeanne; Tessada, José A.; Lewis, Ethan - 2015

This paper estimates the elasticity of substitution between capital and skill using variation across U.S. counties in immigration-induced skill-mix changes between 1860 and 1930. We find that capital began as a q-complement for skilled and unskilled workers, and then dramatically increased its...
