This paper provides new evidence that estimates obtained from aggregated data may not provide reliable estimates of average firm-level parameters, if the composition of producers with different levels of productivity changes over the business cycle. I examine plant-level data and show that, due to the countercyclical reallocation of output among heterogenous plants, productivity measures based ...

according to the recent literature, the expansion of intra-industry trade increases the intra-industrial excess job reallocation. based on lovely and nelson (2002), this study examined the hypothesis that marginal intra-industry trade has a positive effect on the excess job reallocation in iranian industries. therefore, we have employed a panel technique for iranian manufacturing industries at ...

Empirical studies document that resource reallocation across production units plays an important role in accounting for aggregate productivity growth in the U.S. manufacturing. Distortions in financial market could hinder the reallocation process and hence may adversely affect aggregate productivity growth. This paper studies the quantitative impact of costly external finance on aggregate produ...

Dynamic memory allocation must solve the re-allocation problem: where to place a new object. Current techniques of malloc and GC are designed with cache locality in mind. However, it is unclear how to cleanly separate the locality effect in these techniques. This paper outlines a locality theory for dynamic memory allocation. It presents a new metric called the reallocation distance, a way to c...

Job Reallocation and Productivity Growth in the Ukrainian Transition We analyze the pace and patterns of job reallocation in Ukraine using 1992-2000 panel data on nearly the surviving universe of manufacturing firms inherited from the Soviet Union. Employment growth displays substantial increase in heterogeneity during this transition period, with a corresponding rise in excess job reallocation...

In this paper I highlight the importance of incorporating the institutional features of local labor markets into the analysis of trade reforms. A trade reform is often deemed beneficial because the elimination of trade barriers allows labor to reallocate toward those sectors in the economy in which the country has a comparative advantage. The amount and speed of the reallocation, however, and t...

A reallocation problem is defined as determining whether blocks can be moved from their current boxes to their destination boxes in the number of moves less than or equal to a given positive integer. This problem is defined simply and has many practical applications. We previously proved the following results: The reallocation problem such that the block volume is restricted to one volume unit ...

A crucial issue in the next-generation satellite-based communication systems is the satellite on-board reallocation of information which requires digital flexible frequency-band reallocation (FBR) networks. This paper introduces a new class of flexible FBR networks based on variable oversampled complex-modulated filter banks (FBs). The new class can outperform the previously existing ones when ...
