Impact of Policy Distortions on Plant-Level Innovation, Productivity Dynamics and TFP

Ranasinghe, Ashantha - 2014

Plant-level innovation is introduced into an heterogeneous plant setting so that productivity dynamics are endogenous …. When policy distortions are positively correlated with plant productivity, I argue that accounting for plant innovation is … important for understanding TFP differences across countries. All plants reduce innovation thereby generating an endogenous …

Export market exit and firm survival: Theory and first evidence

Hiller, Sanne; Schröder, Philipp J. H.; Sørensen, Allan - 2013

This paper deploys a dynamic extension of the Melitz (2003) model to generate predictions on export market exit and firm survival in a setting where firms endogenously make exit decisions. The central driver of the model dynamics is the inclusion of exogenous economy wide technological progress....

Heterogeneous Firms, Productivity, and Poverty Traps

Barseghyan, Levon - 2014

We present a model of endogenous total factor productivity which generates poverty traps. We obtain multiple steady-state equilibria for an arbitrarily small degree of increasing returns to scale. While the most productive firms operate across all the steady states, in a poverty trap less...

The Rise and Fall of Unions in the United States

Dinlersoz, Emin - 2016

Union membership in the United States displayed a ∩-shaped pattern over the 20th century, while income inequality sketched a ∪. A model of unions is developed to analyze these facts. There is a distribution of productivity across firms in the economy. Firms hire capital, plus skilled and...

On the Evolution of Size and Productivity in Transition: Evidence from Slovenian Manufacturing Firms

Polanec, Sašo - 2004

This paper compiles a set of stylized facts on the evolution of firm size and labor and total factor productivity distributions during the process of transition. These facts are based on the data for all Slovenian manufacturing firms active between 1994 and 2003. Stylized picture of transition...
