Recent research suggests that much of the cross-firm variation in measured productivity is due to differences in use of … longitudinal earnings records for their employees to study the relationship between productivity, management, worker ability, and … and firm-level productivity in Germany. In our preferred TFP estimates only a small fraction of this correlation is …
