Market Power, Scale Economies and Productivity: Estimates from a Panel of Establishment Data

Tor Klette

No 15/1998, Memorandum from Oslo University, Department of Economics

Abstract: This paper presents a somewhat new econometric framework that permits simultaneous estimation of price-cost margins, scale economies and productivity from a panel of establishment data. The econometric model contains only a few, economically interesting parameters to be estimated, but it is nevertheless consistent with a flexible (translog) underlying technology, quasi-fixed capital and the presence of persistent differences in productivity between establishments.
