Nonparametric Identification and Estimation of Production Functions Invariant to Productivity Dynamics

Published in , 2024

We establish the nonparametric identification of both the production function and the distribution of unobserved productivity without imposing dynamic restrictions on the productivity process.

Restoring Identification in the Olley-Pakes Estimator: A Timing Assumption Approach

Published in , 2024

This paper proposes a simple solution to the identification problem in the Olley-Pakes estimator by introducing an unanticipated, idiosyncratic firm-level demand shock.

From Reduced to Structural: A New Identification Strategy for Production Functions

Published in , 2025

This paper introduces a ‘from reduced to structural’ identification strategy for gross output production functions robust to weak instrument issues.
