We demonstrate that common modeling assumptions underlying micro-unit productivity indices induce biases in the … evolution and decomposition of standard aggregate productivity measures. After controlling for such biases, we decompose … aggregate productivity based on groups of economically significant firm types. We show that large incumbent firms that both …

In this study, we test the hypothesis that an industry's average productivity increases with liberalised trade in the … reallocation in these industries. For this purpose, we employ a kernel density estimator to approximate the global productivity … percentiles of the global productivity distribution shift to the right with liberalised international trade. Moreover, countries …
