A New Class of Production Functions and an Argument Against Purely Labor-Augmenting Technical Change [PDF]
This paper follows Jones (2005) in his approach to deriving the global production function from microfoundations. His framework is generalized by allowing for dependence between the Pareto distributions of labor- and capital-augmenting developments ...

Collective Bargaining and Monopsony: The Regulation of Noncompete Agreements in France
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Can collective bargaining mitigate monopsony power? This paper studies the extent to which collective agreements regulating employee noncompete clauses affect firm‐level markdowns in French manufacturing. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences design, we find that such regulation reduces markdowns by 1.3%–2.2% on average.

Separating the Costs and Benefits of Employee Turnover: A Theory‐Driven Method and Applications
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Employee turnover is costly, but it may also benefit performance through improving job‐worker match quality. Existing studies estimate only the net turnover‐performance relationship, ignoring benefits and biasing cost estimates. We develop a theory‐driven method that separately identifies operational costs and match‐quality benefits of ...

Estimation of a Production Function for Philippine Retail Stores
ECONOMICS, 2019 The purpose of this paper is the estimation of a production function for retail stores in the Philippines. A generalized Cobb-Douglas production function is utilized for this purpose. Ordinary Least Squares is used in obtaining the coefficients for labor

The Productivity Effect of High Involvement Management: Causal Evidence From Germany
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study empirically examines the effects of High Involvement Management (HIM) on establishment productivity. To achieve this it draws on a large‐scale panel data set representative of the German economy. The identification strategy exploits the bracketing property of fixed effects and lagged dependent variable models and supplements this ...

Worker Heterogeneity and the Effect of Noncompetes on Firm Performance
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using staggered state‐level changes in noncompete enforceability, we document that reduced enforcement increases profitability, valuation, productivity, and plant‐level growth in knowledge‐worker‐intensive firms relative to other firms. Critically, these gains are concentrated among the most productive knowledge‐worker firms, consistent with ...

A study of Cobb-Douglas production function with differential geometry [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we shall made an analysis of Cobb-Douglas production function from the differential point of view. We shall obtain some interesting results about the nature of the points of the surface, the total curvature, the conditions when a production
