Return of the Solow Paradox? IT, Productivity, and Employment in U.S. Manufacturing
Acemoglu, Daron; Autor, David; Dorn, David; Hanson, … - 2014
An increasingly influential technological-discontinuity paradigm suggests that IT-induced technological changes are rapidly raising productivity while making workers redundant. This paper explores the evidence for this view among the IT-using U.S. manufacturing industries. There is some limited...

Stock prices and economic fluctuations: a Markov switching structural vector autoregressive analysis
Lanne, Markku; Luetkepohl, Helmut - 2008
The role of expectations for economic fluctuations has received considerable attention in recent business cycle analysis. We exploit Markov regime switching models to identify shocks in cointegrated structural vector autoregressions and investigate different identification schemes for bi-variate...

Nested stochastic possibility frontiers with heterogeneous capital inputs
Erber, Georg; Madlener, Reinhard - 2007
This paper studies the productivity impact of heterogeneous capital inputs of selected EU-15 member countries and of the U.S. at the macroeconomic level. The stochastic possibility frontiers approach of Battese and Coelli (1992) applied here is used to identify neutralities or non-neutralities...

New evidence, old puzzles: technology shocks and labor market dynamics
Balleer, Almut - 2009
Can the standard search-and-matching labor market model replicate the business cycle fluctuations of the job finding rate and the unemployment rate? In the model, fluctuations are prominently driven by productivity shocks which are commonly interpreted as technology shocks. I estimate different...

Explaining shifts in the unemployment rate with productivity slowdowns and accelerations: a co-breaking approach
Schreiber, Sven - 2009
We investigate the controversial issue whether unemployment is related to productivity growth in the long run, using U.S. data in a framework of infrequent mean shifts. Tests find (endogenously dated) shifts around 1974, 1986, and 1996, system techniques indicate that the shifts are common...

Spatial effects of foreign direct investment in US states
Bode, Eckhardt; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Waldkirch, Andreas - 2009
This paper estimates the aggregate productivity effects of Marshallian externalities generated by foreign direct investments (FDI) in the US. In contrast to earlier work, this paper puts special emphasis on controlling for Marshallian externalities and other intra- and inter-regional spillovers...

Schooling externalities, technology and productivity: theory and evidence from US states
Iranzo, Susana; Peri, Giovanni - 2006
The recent literature on externalities of schooling in the U.S. is rather mixed: positive external effects of average education are hardly found at all, while often positive externalities from the share of college graduates are identified. This paper proposes a simple model to explain this fact...

Distance to frontier and appropriate business strategy
Coad, Alex - 2008
This paper is an empirical test of the hypothesis that the appropriateness of different business strategies is conditional on the firm's distance to the industry frontier. We use data on four 2-digit high-tech manufacturing industries in the US over the period 1972-1999, and apply...
