This paper, instrumented with six theorems, shows that differences between firms in labor productivity, capital …

productivity is derived. A semi-parametric approach is applied on a 3-digit level of industrial data over major states during 1998 …–2014 to regress the Solow residual (the proxy for productivity) on trade share along with its interaction terms capturing … hence raises productivity. It is argued that the joint effects of market size and competition arising out of trade cannot …

This paper provides more systematic … evidence on the interplay between concentration, prices and productivity across several hundred US manufacturing industries … associated with better productivity growth. Rising concentration has also been associated with widening margins of price over …

The study aims at describing productivity growth in the manufacturing sector for a selected panel of five European … countries using firm-level data. The paper explores the empirical regularities of firm productivity distribution across … countries. In particular, we assess the degree of persistence of firm relative productivity and consider its effect on aggregate …
