Measured productivity with endogenous markups and economic profits
نویسندگان
چکیده
I study the effect of dynamic firm entry, scale economies and oligopolistic competition on measured productivity. These features cause endogenous, procyclical, fluctuations in productivity (Solow residual). analytically decompose into a pure technology component an endogenous component. show that arises because entry firms to vary their optimal production which turn interacts with returns generating effects. estimate series shows it is less volatile more persistent than standard Solow residual. Lastly, simulate model process mechanisms generate output amplification relative benchmark monopolistic competition, static model.

Profits and Productivity
In this study we consider the linkage between productivity change and profit change. We develop an analytical framework in which profit change between one period and the next is decomposed into three sources: (i) a productivity change effect (which includes a technical change effect and an operating efficiency effect), (ii) an activity effect (which includes a product mix effect, a resource mix...
متن کاملEndogenous Growth, Productivity and Economic Policy: A Progress Report
THE NEW “ENDOGENOUS” GROWTH theory that was spawned by the contributions of Romer (1986) and Lucas (1988) has now largely displaced the old neoclassical growth theory of Solow (1956) and Swan (1956) from the frontiers of academic research. But endogenous growth theory vintage 2004 is different in many respects from vintage 1988. These differences are the result of a fruitful interaction that ha...
متن کاملUnionization and Economic Performance: Evidence on Productivity, Profits, Investment, and Growth
The effect of labor unions on economic performance is a crucial factor in evaluating public policy toward union organizing and bargaining rights. This paper evaluates theory and evidence on the relationship of unionization with respect to productivity, profitability, investment, and employment growth. The clear pattern that emerges from the research literature, primarily for the U.S. but also e...
متن کاملFinancial Constraints , Endogenous Markups , and Self - fulfilling Equilibria
3 We show that self-fulfilling equilibria and indeterminacy can easily arise in a simple financial accelerator model with reasonable 4 parameter calibrations and without increasing returns in production. A key feature for generating indeterminacy in our model is 5 the countercyclical markup due to the procyclical loan to output ratio. We illustrate, via simulations, that our financial accelerat...
متن کاملProductivity and economic efficiency of wheat in rotation with cotton
ABSTRACT- Crop rotation has many benefits for agro-ecosystems production. In order to evaluate two current rotation systems of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Kamalabad region of Fasa, an experiment was conducted during 2015-2016 growing season. The rotation systems were fallow-wheat and cotton (Gossypium spp.)-wheat. Research plots were arranged as a randomized complete block design...
