BNET
- 2006-06-19
Single-source, or noncompetitive, defence procurement is a widespread phenomenon that is prevalent in both developing countries and in advanced arms exporting countries.

On The Welfare Effects Of Productivity Catch-Up By Laggard Firms
BNET
- 2006-04-27
The substantial within-industry variation in firm productivity typically observed in the data suggests that there is ample scope for productivity catch-up by laggard firms. We analyse the normative effects of such catch-up. In the short run, where firms' process technologies are fixed, catch-up can reduce social welfare if the initial...
Productivity Effects Of International Outsourcing: Evidence From Plant Level Data

BNET
- 2004-11-25
We examine empirically the effect of international outsourcing on labour demand at the level of the individual plant. We do so by estimating a dynamic model of plant level labour demand, using a Generalised Method of Moments estimator. We use plant level data for the Irish Electronics sector, an industry...
