1  EstimatimgProductiom Fumctiom STATA代写

Download the data “data-olley-pakes”. There are †3fi firms and 6 years of data. Each row refers to one firm in one year. The variables are as follows: firm, year, output, age, capital, labor, and investment. If a firm‘s values are zero in a given year, that means that the firm does not exist in that year, it has either exited already or not yet entered.

You can answer the questions using either STATA or MATLAB, although I would suggest you to implement the Olley and Pakes (OP) estimator in MAT- LAB to have a better understanding of the method. If you are using STATA,  do not forget to change the zeros into dots so that STATA understands that the variables are missing¡ otherwise it will consider the zeros as observations. Make sure you put the data in logs before estimating the model.STATA代写

1.1 Model STATA代写

Assume the firms have a Cobb-Douglas production function (let‘s ignore firm‘s age in the exercise, but you can include it if you want to):

y_st = Ø0 ‡ Ø11_st ‡ Øhh_st ‡ c_st ‡ o_st, (fi)

where y_st is the log of output¡ 1_st is the log of labor¡ h_st is the log of capital¡ the term c_st represents “productivity shocks” that are observed or predictable by the firms before making their input decisions at t¡ and o_st represents both i.i.d. shocks to production that are not predicted by the firms and measurement errors in the observed variables. The endogeneity problem in estimating (fi) comes from the correlation between the inputs and c_st.STATA代写

1.2 Øuestiom STATA代写

1. Estimate the production function using pooled OLS for both the unbal- anced and for the balanced panel data. What do you find? Are the estimatessignificant?Are they economically reasonable? Why would you expect them to be biased? STATA

£. Assume c_st = c_s, i.e., it is a time-invariant fixed-effect. Estimate the production function using the fixed-effect estimator. What do you find? Are the estimates significant? Are they economically reasonable?STATA代写

3. Assumec_st = gc_st—fi ‡ Øst, where |g| c fi and Øst is i.d. Add the fixed- effect a_s in the unobservables. Estimate the production function using the SYS GMM estimator proposed by Blundell and Bond. What do you find? Are the estimates significant? Are they economically reasonable?
4. Return to the original model (fi) and assume the model satisfies the OP assumptions. Estimate the model using investments as a proxy forc_st.
   • Estimate the first step of OP to get Ø1 and $st. Use a fourth order polynomial series (just as OP did) for$st.
   • Estimatethe second step of OP ignoring the selection problem to get

Øh. Use a fourth order polynomial to approximate the function g (.), where

c_st = g (c_st—fi) ‡ Øst,

and use the vector of instruments (fi, h_st)^t.STATA代写

• Whencompared with your previous results (OLS, FE, and SYS GMM), does your new estimate from OP conform with the biases suggested by the theoretical model?
• Calculate productivity growth for each firm as in Olley and Pakes (fi996), Section†:

p_st = exp .y_st — Ø11_st — Øhh_stΣ .

Calculate aggregate productivity growth for the sample in each year

using output shares to aggregate firms (s_st = y_st/ ΣNt y_st), and do

the same decomposition as they perform (equation fi6). What do you conclude in terms of relocation of output shares versus plant- level growth?STATA代写

• (EEfÆA) You do not need to incorporate the selection problem into OP, but you can if you want In this case,  when you estimate  the survival probability function (i.e., the probability of staying in  the market) you may use a fourth order polynomial within a pro-   bit model, P_st= Pr zst‡fi = fi s_st, h_st . Then, in the last step (the nonlinear least squares), also use a fourth order polynomial for g (.), where now

c_st = g (c_st—fi, P_st) ‡ Øst.

Discuss your estimates compared with those obtained ignoring the selection problem.STATA代写
