2 Structure of talk Mcro-level dynamcs of productvty growth Internal restructurng: productvty growth wthn frms and convergence n productvty levels between stayng frms External restructurng: productvty-enhancng restructurng (entres, exts and reallocaton of resources between frms) Productvty dsperson. Role n external restructurng (necessary condton) nternal restructurng (convergence; productvty growth of low productvty frms) Aggregate labour productvty and aggregate management qualty

3 Some background Innovaton-based growth theores Product varety model (Romer 1990) No role for smultaneous entry, ext and reallocaton Vertcal nnovatons Struggle for profts, wth wnners and loosers Development nvolves smultaneous entry, ext and reallocaton Innovaton productvty dsperson (Foster, L., Grm, C., Haltwanger, J. C. & Wolf, Z., 2018) varaton n frm growth rates (Klette, T. J. & Grlches, Z., 2000; Comn & Mulan 2009) (top ncome) nequalty (Aghon et al 2015)

4 Some background Emprcal analyss on (re)allocaton of resources between frms and productvty (growth) Dynamc: Baly, Hulten & Campbell 1992; Grlches & Regev 1995; Foster, Haltwanger & Krzan 2001; Böckerman & Malranta 2007; Hyytnen & Malranta 2013; Meltz & Polanec 2015; Malranta & Määttänen 2015; Rley, Rosazza-Bondbene & Young 2015 etc. Statc: Olley & Pakes 1996 Measurement ssues (Dewert & Fox 2009; Bartelsman & Wolf 2017; Balk, 2016). Index-theory approach: Balk, B. M. (2016). The dynamcs of productvty change: A revew of the bottom-up approach. In W. H. Greene, L. Khalaf, C., R. Sckles, M. Veall & M.-C. Voa (edted.), Productvty and effcency analyss (s ). Sprnger.

5 Measurement ssues n productvty decompostons 1) Measurement of aggregate growth rate: Use of geometrc or arthmetc mean? Employment-weghted arthmetc mean s consstent wth the Natonal Accounts The dsadvantage s that, as an aggregate level measure, a geometrc mean [] s less easy to understand than an arthmetc mean [] (Balk 2016, p. 40) 2) Dstncton between nternal and external restructurng there s a large number of [] decompostons avalable. Because of ts symmetry and ts natural benchmarks for extng and enterng producton unts we prefer the Dewert-Fox decomposton (Balk 2016, p. 47) 3) Productvty dsperson between frms and mcro-level sources of productvty growth Dsperson refers to the levels and whch should be measured n nomnal terms Economsts appear to have a preference for workng wth levels; e.g. wth concepts such as real value added. [] a level actually s a long-term ndex

6 Measurement of aggregate growth rate Measurement of aggregate productvty growth rate (logs of weghted arthmetc mean); Arthmetc aggregate growth rate (Natonal Accounts) 1 ln Z Z 0, where Z 1 Y 1 = L 1 Foster-Haltwanger-Krzan (1997), Grlches-Regve (1995), Hyytnen- Malranta (2013) etc. (aggregate of logs): Geometrc aggregate growth rate Z 1 1 Z Z = ln 1 0 ( ) 1 Z1 Z0, where 0 1 L L Y L 1 1 ln Z = Bas n geometrc mean decomposton method Z
