Misallocation and Growth

Endogenous growth model in which training is a by-product of production, and when both firms and workers are heterogeneous. Two-period OLG. The young must work with the old, and as a result an assignment problem arises. We can calculate the transition dynamics analytically when the skill of the young is log-normally distributed and the initial human capital of the old generation is also log-nor...

Misallocation and Establishment Dynamics

The gap between marginal revenues and marginal costs of inputs (i.e., distortions or wedges) at establishments potentially lower aggregate total factor productivity (TFP) by preventing efficient allocation of resources among incumbents, deterring entry and exit, and affecting technology choices. We investigate the impacts of distortions on aggregate TFP, entry and exit, and establishment-level ...
