Smolny, Werner - 1995
In the paper, productivity convergence is analyzed with a broad panel of industry sector data for the United States and … Germany for 1960-1990. The time-series/cross-sectoral data set allows to investigate country-specific convergence, and to …-up is due to capital-deepening, but most of it is total factor productivity convergence, i.e. endogenous growth models …

A global decline in research productivity? : evidence from China and Germany
Boeing, Philipp; Hünermund, Paul - 2020
In a recent paper, Bloom et al. (2020) find evidence for a substantial decline in research productivity in the U.S. economy during the last 40 years. In this paper, we replicate their findings for China and Germany, using detailed firm-level data spanning three decades. Our results indicate that...

The East-West German gap in revenue productivity : just a tale of output prices?
Mertens, Matthias; Müller, Steffen - 2020
East German manufacturers' revenue productivity (value-added per worker) is some 8 (25) percent below West German levels, even three decades after German unification. Using firm-product-level data containing information on product quantities and prices, we analyse the role of product...

Allocative efficiency, plant dynamics and regional productivity : evidence from Germany
Bruhn, Simon; Grebel, Thomas - 2023
This paper argues that regional variation in the efficiency of labor allocation among German manufacturing plants plays a critical role in explaining regional disparities in productivity. In fact, we show that over 50% of the East-West productivity gap is associated with a less efficient labor...

Does IT Outsourcing Increase Firm Success? An Empirical Assessment Using Firm-Level Data
Ohnemus, Jörg - 2014
Using German firm-level data, an endogenous switching regression model within a production function framework is estimated in order to explore differences in labor productivity between IT outsourcing and non-IT outsourcing firms. This approach takes possible complementarities between IT...

Broadband and productivity : structural estimates for Germany
Duso, Tomaso; Nardotto, Mattia; Schiersch, Alexander - 2021
We study the impact of broadband availability on firms’ total factor productivity (TFP) using German firm-level data between 2010 and 2015. We adopt a control function approach to causally identify and separately estimate productivity for 46 two-digit manufacturing and service sectors. Over...
