Does Competition Raise Productivity Through Improving Management Quality (2011, background): “Indeed, many empirical IO contributions have examined the spread of lean or flexible manufacturing exactly through this lens (e.g. Van Biesebroeck, 2003, 2007; Keane and Feinberg, 2008 ).”
High-growth firms and productivity: evidence from the United Kingdom (2015, background): “This result is in line with the literature which finds positive size- and age-productivity relationships (Leung, et al. 2008; Van Biesebroeck, 2005, Rao and Tang, 2000).”
Structural identification of production functions (2006, background): “However, it is possible that as one moves away from Cobb-Douglas production functions (or Hicks neutral unobservables or perfectly competitive output and input markets), a parametric approach might be identi ed (see Van Biesebroeck (2003) for a related example).”
Reallocation and Technology: Evidence from the U.S. Steel Industry (2015, result): “This is in contrast to the a setting of technology adoption, such as Van Biesebroeck (2003)’s empirical analysis of technology adoption in U.S. car manufacturing.”
Identification Properties of Recent Production Function Estimators (2015, unknown): “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”
Structural Identi…cation of Production Functions (2006, background): “However, it is possible that as one moves away from Cobb-Douglas production functions (or Hicks neutral unobservables), a parametric approach might be identified (see Van Biesebroeck (2003) for a related example).”
Revisiting Some Productivity Debates (2003, methodology): “24On the other hand, plants with a large fraction of ‘managers’ had on average a (significant) 2% higher productivity growth with the parametric productivity measures, see Van Biesebroeck (2003).”

Robustness of Productivity Estimates (2007, unknown): “To absorb the scale effect, an additional factor has to be added to (subtracted from) equation (3) for each input if returns to scale are decreasing (increasing): see equation (8) in Van Biesebroeck [2004].
