Studies of firm-level data have shown that there is a huge dispersion of productivity across firms even when industries … productive. The formers’ convergence could therefore constitute an important part of productivity growth at the macroeconomic … which can explain it. Productivity convergence was stronger for labour productivity than for total factor productivity. But …

that variations in the upstream competition, especially in network industries, affect the average productivity level in … manufacturing industry: an increase in average markups is associated with a reduction in manufacturing productivity. The findings …

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the Solow residual relates to innovation at the firm level. We estimate two … kinds of relationships. The first relationship explains innovation output from innovation inputs. The second relationship … relates TFP growth to innovation output. We obtain two main results. First, the determinants of incremental and radical …
