Is Aggregate Market Power Increasing? Production Trends Using Financial Statements
Traina, James - 2018
Recent work in macroeconomics argues that firm market power dramatically increased since the 1980s. Using financial statement data, I find that public firm markups increased only modestly over this time period, and are within historical variation. These estimates improve on earlier work by...

Identifying Agglomeration Spillovers : Evidence from Million Dollar Plants
Greenstone, Michael; Hornbeck, Richard; Moretti, Enrico - 2010
We quantify agglomeration spillovers by estimating the impact of the opening of a large manufacturing plant on the total factor productivity (TFP) of incumbent plants in the same county. We use the location rankings of profit-maximizing firms to compare incumbent plants in the county where the...

Bounding the Effects of R & D : An Investigation Using Matched Establishment-Firm Data
Jaffe, Adam B.; Adams, James D. - 1998
We find that the effects of parent firm R & D on plant-level productivity are diminished by both the geographic and technological distance between the research lab and the plants, that productivity appears to depend on R & D per plant rather than on the total amount, and that spillovers from...

Does Inward Foreign Direct Investment Boost the Productivity of Domestic Firms?
Haskel, Jonathan; Pereira, Sonia C.; Slaughter, Matthew J. - 2015
Are there productivity spillovers from FDI to domestic firms, and, if so, how much should host countries be willing to pay to attract FDI? To examine these questions we use a plant-level panel covering U.K. manufacturing from 1973 through 1992. Across a wide range of specifications, we estimate...

Why do management practices differ across firms and countries?
Bloom, Nicholas; Van Reenen, John - 2010
Economists have long puzzled over the astounding differences in productivity between firms and countries. For example, looking at disaggregated data on U.S. manufacturing industries, Syverson (2004a) found that plants at the 90th percentile produced four times as much as the plant in the 10th...
