Production risk, energy use efficiency and productivity of Korean industries
Khayyat, Nabaz T.; Heshmati, Almas - 2014
Korea imports all of its primary energy, which leads to high dependency and vulnerability related to its energy supply. Efficiency in the use of energy is a way to reduce dependency and emissions. This study provides empirical results of the stochastic production process in energy use. Special...

Estimation of technical change and TFP growth based on observable technology shifters
Heshmati, Almas; Rashidghalam, Masoomeh - 2016
This paper models and estimates total factor productivity (TFP) growth parametrically. The model is a generalization of … the traditional production model where technology is represented by a time trend. TFP growth is decomposed into … exogenous growth factors are used in modeling four technology shifter indices to explore development infrastructure, finances …

Techies and Firm Level Productivity
Harrigan, James; Reshef, Ariell; Toubal, Farid - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We study the impact of techies--engineers and other technically trained workers--on firm-level productivity. We first report new facts on the role of techies in the firm by using French administrative data and unique surveys. Techies are STEM-skill intensive and are associated with innovation,...
