In this paper we explore the extent to which firms experience productivity spillovers from clustering using a rich data …-selection and endogenous location choice of firms in an estimation of firm level productivity. Controlling for competition effects … and distinguishing between urbanization and localization economies, we find strong evidence for productivity spillovers …

This paper builds a theory of the shape of the distribution of total-factor productivity (TFP) across countries. The … data on productivity suggests vast differences across countries, and arguably even has "twin peaks". The theory proposed … here is consistent with vast differences in long-run productivity, and potentially also with a twin-peaks outcome, even …

We focus on two channels, a competition and a spillover channel … competition effects associated with clustering for formal and manufacturing firms. We find some evidence of productivity …

Over the last decades, much attention has been drawn to the question of productivity variation across countries. The … differences in cross-country productivity could be explained by both foreign and domestic innovation.

We find that foreign control increases productivity growth in domestically-controlled plants … positive productivity effects of foreign control are more pronounced for those plants that outsource more intermediates, and …
