Productivity, markups, and reallocation: Evidence from French manufacturing firms from 1994 to 2016
De Monte, Enrico - 2024
This paper investigates the evolution of aggregate productivity and markups among French manufacturing firms between 1994 and 2016, by focusing on the role of reallocation with respect to both aggregate measures. Firm-level productivity and markups are estimated based on a gross output translog...

Export Behavior and Firm Productivity in German Manufacturing: A Firm-level Analysis
Arnold, Jens Matthias; Hussinger, Katrin - 2004
This paper analyses the relationship between firm productivity and export behavior in German manufacturing firms. We examine whether productivity increases the probability of exporting, and assert that there is a causal relationship from high productivity to entering foreign markets, as...

Exports versus FDI in German Manufacturing: Firm Performance and Participation in International Markets
Arnold, Jens Matthias; Hussinger, Katrin - 2005
This paper tests some of the predictions of recent advances in trade theory that have focused on different trade patterns of firms within the same sector. Helpman, Melitz and Yeaple (2005) develop a model in which innate productivity differences between firms determine the degree of...
