Intangible Capital and Firms Productivity (2011, unknown): “The major disadvantage of this estimator is the requirement of long panels given that instruments are obtained as lagged values of the level and the first difference of the regressors; additional lags are supposed to improve estimate precision (Van Biesebroeck, 2007).”
Economic geography and wages in Brazil: Evidence from micro-data (2010, unknown): “In order to estimate the gravity equation, we need three sets of trade data: (1) data on trade among Brazilian states, which is drawn from Vasconcelos and Oliveira (2006) who processed value-added tax information provided by the National Council of Financial Policy (CONFAZ, Conselho Nacional de Poli”

Identification Properties of Recent Production Function Estimators (2015, methodology): “We included it because, without this heterogeneity, it was extremely hard (in steady state, see below) to match the within-firm versus across-firm variation in capital and the correlation between capital and labor of the Chilean data sets as discussed above.19 As described by Syverson (2001) and Van”
Innovation, exports and productivity (2010, background): “However, despite these concerns, research finds little sensitivity of the results related to the specific productivity measurement choice (Van Biesebroeck, 2007; Syverson, 2010).”
Temperature Effects on Productivity and Factor Reallocation: Evidence from a Half Million Chinese Manufacturing Plants (2018, methodology): “We use the matching algorithm provided in Brandt et al. (2012) to match firms over time.(4) Second, the NBS data contain outliers which we address by following procedures established in prior papers that have used this data (Cai and Liu, 2009; Brandt et al., 2012; Yu, 2014). In particular, we drop o”
Product and process innovation and firms' decision to export (2010, unknown): “Disadvantages associated with index numbers are its deterministic nature and the imposed assumptions on market structure and firm behavior (Van Biesebroeck 2007).”
Do local manufacturing firms benefit from transactional linkages with multinational enterprises in China? (2009, background): “Van Biesebroeck (2007) provides a detailed review and uses Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the sensitivity of estimators to various complications.”
The Multiprod project: A comprehensive overview (2017, background): “This is of particular importance for the current policy debate given the large increase in wage inequality experienced in many countries, in particular the United States and the United Kingdom over the last 30 years (Atkinson and Piketty 2009, Machin and Van Reenen 2008).”
