The impact of the Civil War on capital intensity and labor productivity in southern manufacturing
After the Civil War wages fell in the South relative to the non-South, but interest rates and othermeasures of the costs of capital increased.Using archival data formanufacturing establishments, we show that capital–output and capital–labor ratios in southernmanufacturing declined relative to non-southern manufacturing after the War, precisely in the direction implied by the regional shifts in ...
متن کاملProductivity and Trade Orientation in UK Manufacturing
Productivity and Trade Orientation in UK Manufacturing Within a structural model we explicitly allow for the trade orientation of companies to estimate productivity dynamics within 4-digit UK manufacturing industries. We use the FAME data on UK companies over the period 1994-2003. Following Ackerberg et al. (2005) we adjust the algorithm in Olley and Pakes (1996) by augmenting investment and ex...
متن کاملOutsourcing and Firm Productivity in Irish Manufacturing
The causality from outsourcing, defined as the procurement of inputs from outside the boundaries of the firm, to productivity is tested for a large panel of Irish manufacturing firms. Theory suggests that as firms outsource more ‘non-core’ activities to specialized providers, productivity due to the firm benefiting from cheaper or higher-quality inputs and from reallocation of resources towards...
متن کاملDeveloping Inter-Provincial Electricity Trade
In this issue... Fundamental east-west synergies in electricity generation and transmission are waiting to be more fully exploited. Doing so would require provinces to rethink their electricity trading relationships with each other and with the United States.
متن کاملEstimating the inter-story drift in high rise buildings with the flexural and shear cantilever beam and mode-acceleration method
In this study, the seismic inter-story drift of structures is estimated by a combination of mode-acceleration equations with the modelling of high-rise buildings with flexural and shear cantilever beams. In the equation presented for calculating the inter-story drift, having less knowledge of the building is adequate and this issue is of significance in estimating the nonstructural component fo...
