Estimating production functions using inputs to control for unobservables

[PDF] from psu.edu
J Levinsohn… - 2000 - nber.org
We introduce a new method for conditioning out serially correlated unobserved shocks to
the production technology by building ideas first developed in Olley and Pakes (1996). Olley
and Pakes show how to use investment to control for correlation between input levels and ...

Quantifying the benefits of new products: The case of the minivan

[PDF] from uniandes.edu.co
A Petrin - 2001 - nber.org
I develop a technique useful for obtaining more precise estimates of demand and supply
curves when constrained to market-level data. It augments the estimation routine with data
on the average characteristics of consumers that purchase different products. I apply the ...

The consumer gains from direct broadcast satellites and the competition with cable TV

[PDF] from umn.edu
Full text - MIT Libraries
A Goolsbee… - Econometrica, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
This paper examines direct broadcast satellites (DBS) as a competitor to cable. We first
estimate a structural consumer level demand system for satellite, basic cable, premium
cable and local antenna using micro data on almost 30000 households in 317 markets, ...

[PDF] Production function estimation in Stata using inputs to control for unobservables

[PDF] from umn.edu
Full text - MIT Libraries
A Petrin, BP Poi… - Stata Journal, 2004 - ageconsearch.umn.edu
Abstract. A key issue in the estimation of production functions is the correlation between
unobservable productivity shocks and input levels. Profit-maximizing firms respond to
positive productivity shocks by expanding output, which requires additional inputs. ...

When industries become more productive, do firms?

[PDF] from umn.edu
J Levinsohn… - 1999 - nber.org
This paper investigates two explanations for why industries might become more productive
over time. The first explanation, termed the real productivity case,'is one in which firms
become more productive and this leads to more productive industries. The second ...

Omitted product attributes in discrete choice models

[PDF] from berkeley.edu
A Petrin… - 2003 - nber.org
We describe two methods for correcting an omitted variables problem in discrete choice
models: a fixed effects approach and a control function approach. The control function
approach is easier to implement and applicable in situations for which the fixed effects ...

A control function approach to endogeneity in consumer choice models

[PDF] from berkeley.edu

A Petrin… - Journal of Marketing Research, 2010 - Am Marketing Assoc
Abstract Endogeneity arises for numerous reasons in models of consumer choice. It leads to
inconsistency with standard estimation methods that maintain independence between the
model's error and the included variables. The authors describe a control function ...

Measuring aggregate productivity growth using plant-level data

[PDF] from 141.211.144.225
A Petrin… - 2005 - nber.org
We define aggregate productivity growth as the change in aggregate final demand minus
the change in the aggregate cost of primary inputs. We show how to aggregate plant-level
data to this measure and how to use plant-level data to decompose our measure into ...

Job security does affect economic efficiency: Theory, a new statistic, and evidence from chile

[PDF] from umich.edu
A Petrin… - 2006 - nber.org
The extensive empirical macro-and micro-level evidence on the impact of job security
provisions is largely inconclusive. We argue that the weak evidence is a consequence of the
weak power of statistics used, which is suggested by a dynamic theory of plant-level labor ...
