  • Foreign Technology Transfer and Productivity: Evidence From a Matched Sample

    Mahmut Yaşar, Catherine J Morrison Paul et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2008

    We examine the causal effects of alternative foreign technology transfer channels on the productivity of Turkish manufacturing plants, using propensity score matching techniques that limit implicit assumptions about plant homogeneity and self selection imbedded in standard estimates of such effects. We find positive impacts of technology transfer through foreign direct investment (FDI), exporting, and importing on both total factor and labor prod…

  • Public Infrastructure Investment, Interstate Spatial Spillovers, and Manufacturing Costs

    Jeffrey P Cohen, Catherine J Morrison Paul et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2004

    Effects of public infrastructure investment on the costs and productivity of private enterprises have proven difficult to quantify empirically. One piece of this puzzle that has received little attention is spatial spillovers. We apply a cost-function model to 1982–1996 state-level U.S. manufacturing data, to untangle the private cost-saving effects of inter- and intrastate public infrastructure investment. We implement two spatial adaptations—in…

  • Cost Economies and Market Power: The Case of the U.S. Meat Packing Industry

    Catherine J Morrison Paul, Catherine PaulARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2001

    Increasing size of establishments and resulting concentration in U.S. industries may stem from various types of cost economies. In particular, scale economies arising from technological factors embodied in plant and equipment may be a driving force for such market structure changes. In this case, typical market power measures like Lerner indices can be misleading: if scale (cost) economies prevail, cost efficiencies rather than market deficiencie…

  • Efficiency in New Zealand Sheep and Beef Farming: The Impacts of Regulatory Reform

    Catherine J Morrison Paul, Catherine Paul et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2000

    In this study, we consider the impacts of dramatic regulatory reform during the 1980s on the efficiency of farms in New Zealand, using unbalanced panel data. A translog distance function representing the multiple output and input technology and incorporating nonneutral regulatory impacts is used for the analysis. Determinants of technical inefficiency, including a regulatory variable, a time term, and a debt/equity ratio, are also incorporated in…
