Total factor productivity and the Mongolian transition

Chessa, Antonio G.; Schouwstra, Marije C. - 2005

Total Factor Productivity (TFP)is often used on the macro-economic level as an indicator of changes in efficiency of a … increasing and become positive after a (quite a) few years of transition. Many authors conclude that this is a gain in efficiency … increases in efficiency. To investigate this, the mathematical properties of TFP are analysed in order to generate new insights …

Efficiency effects of unit-based pricing systems and institutional choices of waste collection

Dijkgraaf, Elbert; Gradus, Raymond - 2014

Much attention has been paid to the influence of the institutional form of waste collection on costs. We extend this literature in three directions by including the unit-based pricing system. First, we show that unit-based pricing systems are more important from a cost-minimizing point of view...

Quantifying the scope for efficiency defense in merger control : the Werden-Froeb-Index

Goppelsroeder, Marie; Schinkel, Maarten-Pieter; … - 2006

This paper introduces the Werden-Froeb Index (WFI) to assist in evaluating merger-specific efficiencies in horizontal mergers. The index measures the weighted average reduction in marginal costs required to restore pre-merger equilibrium prices and quantities after the (full or partial) merger...

Education and efficient redistribution

Dur, Robert A. J.; Teulings, Coen N. - 2003 - This version: June 2003

Should education be subsidized for the purpose of redistribution? The usual argument against subsidies to education above the primary level is that the rich take up most education, so a subsidy would increase inequality. We show that there is a counteracting effect: an increase in the stock of...
