A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...

The Great British Productivity Puzzle and Regional Industries: A Dynamic Multilevel Spatial Frontier Analysis

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using two approaches, we contribute to sub‐national economic performance measurement by netting out the influence of a region's performance on its industries. The first approach measures performance using technical efficiency and involves introducing the first multilevel spatial stochastic frontier model.

Trade Liberalization and Labor Market Monopsony Power: Evidence From China

ABSTRACT In a recent article published in this Review, Balk (2025) suggests that trading gains might just be a statistical artifact. This rather provocative proposition is in sharp contrast with the empirical evidence that trading gains (or losses) in open economies can exceed several percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP).
