Output, Productivity and Externalities
Author: R. J. Colwell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Concepts in banking output and the empirical literature on bank productivity--which employs output concepts--are critically surveyed. Related issues concerning externalities from banking activity, which entail a deviation of private from social measures of banking output, are outlined. For output, the national accounts, production and intermediation approaches are compared. As regards productivity, both partial and total factor productivity measures and the DEA and parametric approaches to the latter are assessed. The externalities from banking are shown to include contributions to economic development, external economies of scale between institutions, and contagious effects of failures. Among the most striking results is the prevalence of technical inefficiency in banking. In addition, externality issues are rarely considered in combination nor assessed empirically. But more generally, it is also suggested that measurement techniques have often outpaced the theory of what is to be measured, notably in fields such as joint production, risk and competition. Alternative approaches to address these issues are suggested.

Efficiency and Externalities in an Open-Ended Universe
Author: Roy Cordato
Publisher: Ludwig von Mises Institute
ISBN: 1610164636
Category : Austrian school of economics
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
"The problem of externalities and efficiency is cited relentlessly in mainstream literature as the great rationale for government intervention. The Austrian School, however, rooted in an understanding of the competitive process, takes another approach: viewing these supposed problems as having market-based solutions. In Efficiency and Externalities in an Open-Ended Universe, author Roy Cordato elucidates the Austrian view and expands it. He relies strongly on the work of Murray Rothbard and Israel Kirzner to address the modern arguments, showing that there is no standard by which we can judge efficiency apart from the market standard, and no way to adjudicate property rights apart from exchange relationships. This is an important contribution to Austrian literature, the most thorough and extensive study on a topic that is generally treated as a blank check for government to run roughshod over market institutions. No serious student of the market process can afford not to absorb the analytics and lessons of this book." -- from Mises Institute website

Externalities in a Model of Perpetual Youth with Age-Dependent Productivity
Author: Ronald Wendner
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This paper investigates the effects of ("keeping up with the Joneses" and "learning-by-investing") externalities, when labor productivity decreases with age. Within the framework of a continuous time overlapping generations model, the effects of the consumption externality on the propensity to consume, capital level and individual consumption growth rates are ambiguous and depend on the presence (absence) and sign of the "generation replacement effect" (GRE). The sign of the GRE is determined by the rate at which labor productivity declines. Both externalities generate distortions - even with exogenous labor supply. Depending on the sign of the GRE, in case of a production externality, the consumption externality may raise efficiency by introducing an additional distortion. For a specific rate of labor productivity decline the GRE vanishes. In this case, externalities display the same effects in both a representative agent and the overlapping generations model.

The Dynamics of Knowledge Externalities
Author: Cristiano Antonelli
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 9780857930828
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
This book elaborates a new path dependent and localized growth theory based upon knowledge externalities by making two important contributions. Firstly, it elaborates the hypothesis that total factor productivity growth stems from pecuniary knowledge externalities that consist in the access to localized external knowledge, at costs that are below equilibrium levels. Secondly, it implements the economic analysis of complex dynamic systems with a novel approach to understanding the role of knowledge interactions and knowledge governance mechanisms in the generation of new technological knowledge within economic systems characterized by webs of interdependence.

Short and Long Run Externalities
Author: Eric J. Bartelsman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Externalities (Economics)
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
In this paper we build upon previous work on external economies in manufacturing [Caballero and Lyons (1989, 1990)] by providing new evidence helpful for discriminating between different types of externalities. We investigate four-digit level input-output relationships and find that, over shorter horizons, the linkage between an industry and its customers is the most important factor in the transmission of externalities. This suggests that transactions externalities accruing primarily to the seller, and/or activity-driven demand externalities are significant for explaining the short-run behavior of measured total factor productivity. Over longer horizons. on the other hand, it is the activity level of suppliers that is more important. This suggests that external effects are also operating through intermediate goods linkages.
