This paper presents empirical evidence of the effect of FDI inflows on productivity convergence in central and eastern … Europe, using industry-level data. Four conclusions stand out. First, there is a strong convergence effect in productivity …, both at the country and at the industry level. Second, FDI inflow plays an important role in accounting for productivity …

Embedding the efficient bargaining model into the Hall (1988) approach for estimating price-cost margins shows that both imperfections in the product and labor markets generate a wedge between factor elasticities in the production function and their corresponding shares in revenue. This article...

We use an industrial organisation approach to quantify the size of Total Factor Productivity Growth (TFPG) for euro … period. In addition, we observe that Total Factor Productivity growth for the median euro area bank decreased from around 2 …. Given the need to boost productivity and enhance profitability in the euro area banking sector, these findings suggests that …
