Productivity Changes Of Food Processing Industries In Provinces Of Iran; 1992- 2001 A Non-Parametric Malmquist Approach

Local Input and Productivity Growth in U.s. Manufacturing: 19722002

This research analyzes manufacturing growth and decline across metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions during the 1972–2002 period. We decompose real value added growth across local labor market areas in the lower 48 U.S. states into contributions from labor, capital, and total factor productivity. We then estimate a model describing the long-run growth of labor, capital, and productivity and ...

“Food Processing Firms, Input Quality Upgrading and Trade”

In this paper the heterogeneous firms and trade literature is extended by integrating quality of inputs and outputs in a food and agricultural setting. Recently, Sexton (2013) has suggested that intermediate agricultural input quality is critical in food processing firms’ output quality and pricing decisions. The results presented in this paper indicate that intermediate agricultural input qual...
