Acquisitions, markups, efficiency, and product quality: Evidence from India (2018, methodology): “This method accounts for endogeneity of production inputs similar to standard techniques in the productivity literature (Ackerberg et al., 2015; Levinsohn and Petrin, 2003; Olley and Pakes, 1996).”
The contributions of human capital, R&D spending and convergence to total factor productivity growth (2018, methodology): “The adjustment by Ackerberg et al. (2015) introduces the proxy variable policy function to disentangle the productivity shock from output. A simulation study by Mollisi and Rovigatti (2017), however, shows that the correction by Ackerberg et al. (2015) has serious deficiencies in empirical applicati”
The Effects of Joining Multinational Supply Chains: New Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Linkages (2019, methodology): “Panels 3c and 3d estimate the productivity residual using the methods proposed by Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) and Ackerberg et al. (2015). The vertical lines reflect the 95% confidence intervals.”
Identifying FDI spillovers (2017, background): “Figure 2 displays a set of estimated coeffi cients from the regression of TFP on Treatmenti × γt along with all of the controls in equation (1).”
The Fall of the Labor Share and the Rise of Superstar Firms* (2017, methodology): “Panel B uses the Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) approach, and Panels C and D use the Ackerberg et al. (2015) approach.”
Measuring the Bias of Technological Change (2014, neutral): “…productivity and eases the demands on the data compared to the nonparametric inversion in Olley and Pakes (1996), Levinsohn and Petrin (2003), and Ackerberg et al. (2015), especially if the input demand functions are high-dimensional.3 Our paper is related to that of Van Biesebroeck (2003).”
