Abstract: Roberts and Supina (1996) show that for a few selected industries in which unit values can be obtained using the product data from the Census of Manufactures, larger plants have lower price just like we report. An important benefit of using the CFS microdata is that we are able to conduct an analysis of the entire manufacturing sector, not just a few selected industries. Moreover, in our analysis of price, we are able to control for distance shipped.
