Estimating Production Functions with Heterogeneous Firms
We present a new approach to the estimation of production functions that allows for richer patterns of firm heterogeneity than can be accommodated under the proxy variable methods of Olley and Pakes (1996) and Levinsohn and Petrin (2003). In particular, we show that the economics of the firms static input choice contains the necessary identifying information to control for the endogeneity probl...
متن کاملBusiness Cycle Amplification with Heterogeneous Expectations
This paper studies the implications for business cycle dynamics of heterogeneous expectations in a stochastic growth model. The assumption of homogeneous, rational expectations is replaced with a heterogeneous expectations model where a fraction of agents hold rational expectations and the remaining fraction adopt parsimonious forecasting models that are, in equilibrium, optimal within a restri...
متن کاملOffshore Production and Skill Upgrading by Japanese Manufacturing Firms∗
We investigate the influence of offshore production by Japanese multinationals on labour in Japan. Identifying relationships based on within variation in a panel of 1070 Japanese firms, we find that additional foreign affiliate employment is associated with greater use of nonproduction labour at home relative to production labour. Firms that shift production overseas also tend to increase their...
متن کاملBusiness Cycle Dynamics
This paper attempts to simulate endogenous cyclical behaviour through variations on the standard real business models. This paper relaxes the perfect foresight assumption implied by the rational agent hypothesis. It is replaced by imperfect adaptive expectations. The model is extended with a delay between investment and capital accumulation. This paper also simulates a non-equilibrium timediffe...
متن کاملThe Growth Dynamics of German Business Firms
We determine the distribution of size and growthrates of German business firms in 1987-1997. We find a log-normal size distribution. The distribution of growth rates has fat tails. It can be fitted to an exponential in a narrow central region and is dominated by finite-sample-size effects far in its wings. We study the dependence of the growth rate distribution on firm size: depending on proced...
