Improving the Measurement of Productivity Dispersion and Misallocation in Developing Countries
REFNo: SS1698ES
6. Generate information and knowledge required to make informed policy decisions particularly in raising the productivity of small firms. ,Determine the role of firm-to-firm interactions, either as catalysts or hindrances to growth. ,Quantify the extent of resource misallocation across firms and the role of frictions in constraining firm growth.,Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of existing empirical approaches to measuring misallocation. ,Verify whether existing estimates of productivity and marginal product dispersion are robust to improved measurement and the accounting of firm-to-firm interactions. If not, our data will identify the source of bias,Quantify three margins of allocative efficiency of firms: (i) the within-firm allocation of inputs across products, (ii) the allocation of resources across firms located in geographical proximity to each other, i.e., that operate within informal “clusters,” as widely documented in low-income country settings, and (iii) the sector-level allocation of resources across different geographic areas (or clusters).,The primary objective of this research project is to shed light on the organization of production in low-income countries and estimate firm-product level production functions. ,
