The distribution and heterogeneity of technical efficiency within industries : an empirical assessment
Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2004
This paper analyzes the distribution of technical efficiency within manufacturing industries. Using a representative sample of 35,000 firms in 255 industries of the German cost structure census, technical efficiencies are estimated by applying a deterministic frontier production function with...

What drives the productive efficiency of a firm? : the importance of industry, location, R&D, and size
Badunenko, Oleg (contributor); Fritsch, Michael (contributor) - 2008
This paper investigates the factors that explain the level and dynamics of manufacturing firm productive efficiency. In our empirical analysis, we use a unique sample of about 39,000 firms in 256 industries from the German Cost Structure Census over the years 1992-2005. We estimate the...

Intra-sectoral structural change and aggregate productivity development : a robust stochastic nonparametric frontier function approach
Krüger, Jens (contributor) - 2008
This paper investigates the sources of total factor productivity growth in the German manufacturing sector, 1981 …-1998. Decomposition formulae for aggregate productivity growth are used to identify the effects of structural change and entry-exit on … aggregate productivity growth. Documented is a substantial rise of productivity growth after the German reunification. The bulk …

Drivers of Energy Efficiency in German Manufacturing : A Firm-Level Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Lutz, Benjamin Johannes - 2017
Increasing energy efficiency is one of the main goals in current German energy and climate policies. We study the determinants of energy efficiency in the German manufacturing sector based on official firm-level production census data. By means of a stochastic frontier analysis, we estimate the...

The impacts of the EU ETS on efficiency : an empirical analyses for German manufacturing firms
Löschel, Andreas; Lutz, Benjamin Johannes; Managi, Shunsuke - 2016
We investigate the effect of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) on the economic performance of manufacturing firms in Germany. Our difference-in-differences framework relies on several parametric conditioning strategies and nearest neighbor matching. As a measure of economic...
