This paper compares the productivity growth of a set of Canadian and U.S. regulated industries. Using data from Statistics Canada's KLEMS database and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the paper examines productivity growth in transportation services (which includes air and rail),...

The paper provides a summary of the existing literature on corporate parenting styles and discovers the missing elements in the theoretical constructs. New theoretical constructs fill the gaps. The paper presents a continuum of corporate parenting styles from pure predator's (Cronos style) to...

This article analyzes the horizontal productivity spillover effects of foreign ownership on Turkish firms that are among the top 500 industrial enterprises in Turkey. Using a panel of 215 firms over the period 2004-2008, we find that domestic firms benefit from productivity spillovers from...

This article analyzes the horizontal productivity spillover effects of foreign ownership on Turkish firms that are among the top 500 industrial enterprises in Turkey. Using a panel of 215 firms over the period 2004-2008, we find that domestic firms benefit from productivity spillovers from...

We examine the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on local firms’ productivity via human capital transfer from multinational enterprises (MNEs) to local firms. Using the firm-level data for 2010–2015 from the Republic of Korea, we identify human capital spillovers using local firms’...

This paper estimates the effect of domestic and foreign privatization on multifactor productivity (MFP) using long panel data for nearly the universe of initially state-owned manufacturing firms in Ukraine. The longitudinal dimension of the data is used to measure and control for...

In this paper we explore variables that may have an impact on multifactor productivity (MFP) in the long-run using the KLEMS database for Canada. We estimate a dynamic heterogeneous panel error-correction model of twelve 2-digit level industries. Variables investigated include ICT capital,...

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...
