Embedding the efficient bargaining model into the R. Hall (1988) approach for estimating price-cost margins shows that both imperfections in the product and labor markets generate a wedge between factor elasticities in the production function and their corresponding shares in revenue. This...

This article examines the role of the interaction between product market and labor market imperfections in determining total factor productivity growth (TFPG). Embedding Dobbelaere and Mairesse's (2009) generalization of Hall's (1990) approach, allowing for the possibility that wages are...

The analytical background for this research is provided by the Structure-Conduct-Performance paradigm (SCP). In this view market structure determines the behavior of the firms (market conduct) and finally determines market performance. This paper explains the role of market structure on...

This article examines the short-run and long-run dynamics of the export-productivity relationship for Turkish manufacturing industries. We use an error correction model (ECM) estimated using a system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator to achieve this objective. Our results suggest...

The paper develops new indices of financial stability based on an explicit model of expected utility maximization by financial institutions subject to the classical technology restrictions of neoclassical production theory. The model can be estimated using standard econometric techniques, like...

The GMM estimator that is usually employed in the panel data literature, has an unbounded influence function. This means that the estimator is easily influenced by outliers in the data. This paper develops a variant of the GMM estimator that is less sensitive to anomalous observations....
