I use matched sampling techniques to analyze whether firms that start exporting become
more productive, controlling for the self-selection into export markets. To this end, I use micro
data of Slovenian manufacturing firms operating in the period 1994–2000. Overall I find ...

In this paper I analyze the productivity gains from trade liberalization in the Belgian textile
industry. So far, empirical research has established a strong relationship between opening
up to trade and productivity, relying almost entirely on deflated sales to proxy for output in ...

Estimating markups has a long tradition in industrial organization and international trade.
Economists and policy makers are interested in measuring the effect of various competition
and trade policies on market power, typically measured by markups. The empirical ...

I use matched sampling techniques to analyze whether firms that start exporting become

between the period 1994-2000. I estimate total factor productivity using the Olley-Pakes ...

Abstract In this paper I suggest a methodology for getting reliable estimates on (total factor)
productivity in an environment of product differentiation and multi-product firms. The model is
built on Klette and Griliches (1996) and Olley and Pakes (1996) and I allow for multi- ...

Abstract: In most transition countries, the aggregate level evidence suggests that most
industries are just destroying jobs, due to the legacy of communism where over-manning
levels of employment were the norm. This Paper sheds light on whether the transition ...

Learning by exporting refers to the mechanism whereby firms improve their performance
(productivity) after entering export markets. Although this mechanism is often mentioned in
policy documents, a significant share of econometric studies has not found evidence for ...

This paper studies whether removing barriers to trade induces efficiency gains for
producers. Like almost all empirical work which relies on a production function to recover
productivity measures, I do not observe physical output at the firm level. Therefore, it is ...

This paper studies whether job reallocation in Slovenia, a post-socialist economy, has been
associated with gains in total factor productivity (TFP). We document the importance of entry
and exit in job reallocation and show that TFP has increased mainly due to existing firms' ...

Abstract In this paper I analyze the productivity gains from trade liberalization in the Belgian
textile industry. The literature has established a strong relationship between opening up to
trade and productivity, relying almost entirely on deflated sales to proxy for output in the ...
We investigate the role of dynamic production inputs and their associated adjustment costs
in shaping the dispersion of total factor productivity (TFP) and static measures of capital
misallocation within a country. Using data on 5,010 establishments in 33 developing ...

Abstract The paper develops a methodological framework for quantifying the impact of
merger control regulations. While most countries have different criteria in terms of sales,
market shares or combinations of the above, and while listing an inventory of these criteria ...

Abstract This thesis bundles three papers that can be read independently. However, they
have a clear common underlying framework, all dealing with microeconometric studies of
productivity in various contexts. More specificly, I analyze productivity dynamics as a result ...

The ex ante merger control process that exists at the EC as well as in many of the
constituting member states is a particular type of government intervention, namely one in the
market for corporate control. As such, it is supposed to correct for a market failure. Here in ...

In this paper, I discuss, what I call, the Production-Approach to recovering markups. In
contrast to the most popular approach in empirical IO, which relies on demand estimation,
this approach requires standard production data while allowing for various price-setting ...
Abstract: We investigate the role of dynamic production inputs and their associated
adjustment costs in shaping the dispersion of total factor productivity (TFP) and static
measures of capital misallocation within a country. Using data on 5,010 establishments in ...
Abstract This paper examines how prices, markups and marginal costs respond to trade
liberalization. We develop a framework to estimate markups from production data with multi-
product firms. This approach does not require assumptions on the market structure or ...

Abstract In this paper I propose a methodology to estimate (total factor) productivity in an
environment of product differentiation and multi-product firms. In addition to correcting for the
simultaneity bias in the estimation of production functions, I control for the omitted price ...

The process of the East-West integration has come to a point that enlargement appears
inevitable. But are these countries really ready to join the EU in terms of competitive
performance? Firstly, we construct a virtual best practice production frontier for. rms active ...
