International Outsourcing and Productivity: Evidence from Plant Level Data
This paper examines the effect of international outsourcing of intermediate inputs on labour productivity at the level of the plant that engages in outsourcing. To do so we use plant level data for the electronics industry in the Republic of Ireland. Using a fresh perspective on international outsourcing and productivity, we focus on the nature of outsourced inputs (services or tangibles) and t...
متن کاملEnvironmental Regulation and Productivity: Evidence from Oil Refineries
We examine the effect of air quality regulation on productivit y in some of the most heavily regulated manufacturing plants in the United States, the oil re neries of the Los Angeles (South Coast) Air Basin. We use direct measures of local air pollution regulation to estimate their effects on abatement investment. Re neries not subject to these regulations are used as a comparison group. We s...
متن کاملMeasuring Aggregate Productivity Growth Using Plant-level Data
We define aggregate productivity growth as the change in aggregate final demand minus the change in the aggregate cost of primary inputs. We show how to aggregate plant-level data to this measure and how to use plant-level data to decompose our measure into technical efficiency and reallocation components. This requires us to confront the “non-neoclassical” features that impact plant-level data...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Plant-level Productivity in U.S. Manufacturing
Recent work in I.O. has emphasized the importance of firmand plant-level heterogeneity in total factor productivity. In this paper, we estimate establishmentlevel productivity for the entire U.S. manufacturing sector from 1976 until 1999 by using the Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Research Database combined with the Bureau’s Longitudinal Business Database. We characterize the time series properti...
متن کاملEnvironmental impact assessment and sustainability level determination in cement plants (Case study: Shahrood cement plant)
Focusing on environmental impact assessment as a new tool to determine the harmful effects of projects on the environment is very necessary. The establishment of cement plants in Iran is accompanied by huge investments that aim to create jobs and have others economic aspects; this trend is on the rise. However, cement plants contribute to environmental pollutions. Therefore, understanding the e...
