This paper presents and discusses new estimates of the manufacturing and public capital components of the Irish gross capital stock for the ten-year period 1985-1994. The new data are used to estimate aggregate production ...
We compute the productivity gaps in manufacturing industries by urban, rural less sparse and
rural sparse locations in the UK. This is done by using firm-specific total factor productivities,
which are estimated by a ...
We present a new model of multi-product firms (MPFs) and flexible manufacturing and explore its implications in partial and general equilibrium. International trade integration affects the scale and scope of MPFs through ...
We estimate productivity dynamics within 4-digit manufacturing industries, using FAME data on UK Companies, from 1994 to 2003. We extend the algorithm in Olley and Pakes (1996) to allow for a selection bias driven by the ...

This paper uses panel data on British manufacturing industries between 1973 and 1985 to examine the relationship between productivity and labour organisation. It is shown that the precise relationship between unions and ...

This note reports the results of estimating a four-input translog production function for the mid-nineteenth century British cotton industry. It establishes the direction of technical change, and produces new estimates of ...
Within a structural model we explicitly allow for the trade orientation of companies to estimate productivity dynamics within 4-digit UK manufacturing industries. We use the FAME data on UK companies over the period ...
