We ask whether the productivity advantage of internationalized firms documented by the international trade literature can be more correctly interpreted in terms of proximity to the “technological frontier”. We provide a positive answer relying on a methodology (based on mixture models) to...

We investigate the technological dimension of productivity, presenting an empirical methodology based on mixture models to disentangle the labor productivity differences associated with the firm's choice of technology (BTFP) and those related to the firm's ability to exploit the adopted...

We propose a mixture model approach to identify locally optimal technologies and to dissect environmental productivity (output produced per unit of emission) into a technological and a managerial component. For a large sample of plants covered by the EU ETS, we find that the share of plants...
