چکیده
in this reaserch by comparing some of the recent litreture on indentification production function, we estimate total factor productivity. we focus on parametric methods, especially blundell and bond (2000), ollay and pakes (1996), levinsohn and petrin (2003) and ols.using panel data on plant-level of 4-digits isic in iran from 1380 to 1390. we choose levinsohn and petrin (2003) as the most appropriate estimator then we use that estimator for estimating productivity of plants. at the end, we investigate the relation between firm size, productivity and, its ownership and productivity.

متن کاملFour Small Puzzles That Rosetta Doesn't Solve
A complete macromolecule modeling package must be able to solve the simplest structure prediction problems. Despite recent successes in high resolution structure modeling and design, the Rosetta software suite fares poorly on small protein and RNA puzzles, some as small as four residues. To illustrate these problems, this manuscript presents Rosetta results for four well-defined test cases: the...
