Motivated by the long‐standing interest in understanding the role of location for firm
performance, this paper provides a semiparametric methodology to accommodate locational …

The paper focuses on comparing two popular approaches to estimate firm production
technology: the proxy-variable method and stochastic frontier (SF) analysis approach. We …

We consider identification and estimation of the firm-level gross production function with a
controlled productivity evolution process and endogenous contemporaneous productivity …

This paper examines the extent to which productivity gains are transmitted across US firms
through buyer-supplier relationships. Many empirical studies measure firm-to-firm spillovers …

Building on the recent development in the literature on production function identification and
decomposition methods, in this paper we examine the sources of output and productivity …

There is growing empirical evidence that firm heterogeneity is technologically non-neutral.
This chapter extends the Gandhi, Navarro, and Rivers (2020) proxy variable framework for …

This study employs a state-of-the-art econometric methodology to investigate the
relationship between firm productivity and innovation, considering the spatial heterogeneity …

In this study, we leverage geographical coordinates and firm-level panel data to uncover
variations in production across different locations. Our approach involves using a …

We estimate foreign direct investment elasticities of output, of unskilled and skilled labor,
and of unskilled and skilled wages for Chile, both at an aggregate level and for eight …

Conventional proxy-variable approaches to production-function identification assume that
output quantities are flexibly adjustable, with firms endogenously choosing them in pursuit of …
