SECTORAL PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH AND PRICE‐MARGINAL COST MARGINS IN THE INTERMEDIATE GOODS MARKET

Alison Kelly‐Hawke

Review of Income and Wealth, 1997, vol. 43, issue 2, 227-238

Abstract: Models of aggregate productivity growth linked to sectoral models of production typically assume that all intermediate goods markets are perfectly competitive. An econometric analysis reveals that many intermediate goods markets exhibit transactions at prices quite different than marginal cost. Measures of productivity growth that ignore these market imperfections are biased. A measure of the actual magnitude of the bias that emerges under the assumption of equating price to marginal cost is constructed.
