Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.Abstract We build an endogenous growth model that distinguishes productive and welfare government expenditures and embeds fiscal externalities. The model yields three testable hypotheses: (i) productive expenditure raises growth (Barro effect); (ii) productive expenditure generates cross‐country productivity spillovers; (iii) government expenditure ...

Successive oligopolies and decreasing returns [PDF]
In this paper we propose an example of successive oligopolies where the downstream firms share the same decreasing returns technology of the Cobb-Douglas type.

Productivity dynamics among union locals in the United States
Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.Abstract Using panel data on union locals in the United States we examine the dynamics of the union sector, investigating the impact of inter‐union competition on locals' productivity and survival. We find low entry rates, high exit rates and high levels of productivity dispersion in the sector.

Adjustment costs and the identification of Cobb Douglas production functions [PDF]
Cobb Douglas production function parameters are not identified from cross-section variation when inputs are perfectly flexible and chosen optimally, and input prices are common to all firms.

The Impact of Risk Exposure and Environmental Conditions on European Banking Efficiency
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the determinants of bank cost efficiency in Europe by applying a dynamic Bayesian stochastic frontier approach. We distinguish between two conceptually and empirically separate components of efficiency: (1) an intrinsic component, driven by internal bank features such as size and risk exposure, and (2) an extrThis study

Long‐Term Trends in Juvenile Blue Crab Recruitment Patterns in a Wind‐Driven Estuary
Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Conserving exploited marine species requires understanding population dynamics across life stages and habitats. This study analyzes juvenile blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) recruitment trends in North Carolina's Albemarle‐Pamlico Estuarine System.
