Aggregate Growth and the Efficiency of Labour Reallocation
We consider the potential importance of labour market efficiency for aggregate growth. The idea is that efficient labour markets move workers more quickly from low to high productivity sites, thereby raising aggregate productivity growth. We define a measure of labour market efficiency as a structural parameter from a matching function. Using labour market data on 15 OECD countries, we estimate...
متن کاملThe Impact of Bank Credit on Labor Reallocation and Aggregate Industry Productivity
Using a difference-in-difference methodology, we find that the state-level banking deregulation of local U.S. credit markets leads to significant increases in the reallocation of labor within local industries towards firms with higher marginal products of labor. Using firm production functions estimated with plant-level data, we propose and examine an approach that quantifies the industry produ...
متن کاملEconomic Growth under Factor Reallocation Costs
The implications of intersectoral factor reallocation costs (FRC) for economic growth are investigated by employing a stylised two-sector growth model with explicit FRC. It is shown that FRC are important to understand a number of empirical facts on economic growth: (i) Flexible economies are more likely to take advantage of favourable technology shocks. This mechanism might explain why some ec...
متن کاملBank Performance: Market Power or Efficient Structure?
Regulatory change not seen since the Great Depression swept the U.S. banking industry beginning in the early 1980s, culminating with the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994. Significant consolidations have occurred in the banking industry. This paper considers the market-power versus the efficient-structure theories of the positive correlation between banking concentration a...
متن کاملBank-level estimates of market power
The aim of this study is to provide an empirical methodology for the estimation of market power of individual banks. The new method employs the well-known model of Panzar and Rosse (1987) and proposes its estimation using the local regression technique. Thus, a number of restrictive assumptions regarding the properties of the production function of banks are relaxed, while the method proves suc...
