متن کاملPrice Stability and Endogenous Productivity
I present a model, where firms’ markups are endogenous and are a function of the level of price stability in an economy.

By raising their profits, this permits the survival of low productivity firms, thereby reducing aggregate productivity. By contrast, in periods of price stabilit...

In doing so we evaluate the impact of this relationship on the question about aggregation from firm-level data to industry-level data when estimating IT productivity, that is, whether industry-level ...
متن کاملEndogenous Productivity and Multiple Steady States
We endogenize total factor productivity in a neoclassical model with increasing returns to scale. We obtain multiple steady-state equilibria with an arbitrarily small degree of increasing returns to scale. While the most productive rms operate across all the steady states, in a poverty trap less productive rms operate as well. This results in lower average rm productivity and total factor pr...

Individuals are heterogeneous with respect to their preferences and their propensity to benefit from a given investment in human capital.
