Crack Spreads and Capacity Utilization in the US Refinery

Ghoddusi, Hamed; Titman, Sheridan; Tompaidis, Stathis - 2021

refiners. We use the model to examine the relation between refinery capacity utilization and the spread between crude oil … predictions of the model, the crack spread is highly correlated with capacity utilization at low frequencies, but that, at high … frequencies, there is no evidence of Granger causality between either the crack spread and capacity utilization, or vice versa …

Capital Utilization in Production Function Estimation

Gmeiner, Michael; Ricks, Michael - 2021

A method to simultaneously estimate capital utilization rates and production functions is developed that exploits the fuel input choices of producers. Using Chilean data from 1979-1996 it is shown that the elasticity of output with respect to labor is systematically lower when accounting for...

Foreign Subsidization and Excess Capacity

Blonigen, Bruce A.; Wilson, Wesley W. - 2021

The U.S. steel industry has long held that foreign subsidization and excess capacity has led to its long-run demise, yet no one has formally examined this hypothesis. In this paper, we incorporate foreign subsidization considerations into a model based on Staiger and Wolak's (1992)...

Assessing performance of container slot allocation heuristics

Kastner, Marvin; Peters, Malte; Jahn, Carlos - In: Adapting to the future : maritime and city logistics in …, (pp. 427-454). 2021

Purpose: In the last decades, the transport capacities of container vessels have tremendously increased. This leads to longer berth times and greater peak loads at container terminals, especially when schedules are perturbed. Thus, existing container handling processes need to be re-evaluated...

Deep dynamics

Gottfries, Nils; Mickelsson, Glenn; Stadin, Karolina - 2021

How do firms adjust their output, inventories, employment and capital in response to demandsideshocks? To understand this, we estimate a reduced-form model using firm-level panel dataand we construct a theoretical model that can match the estimated impulse-response functions.A combination of...

Do capacity constraints trigger high growth for enterprises?

Coad, Alexander; Domnick, Clemens; Flachenecker, Florian; … - 2021 - This version: July 2021

High-Growth Enterprises (HGEs) have a large economic impact, but are notoriously hard to predict. Previous research has linked high-growth episodes to the configuration of lumpy indivisible resources inside firms, such that high capacity utilisation levels might stimulate future growth. We...
