Unveiling Plant‐Product Productivity via First‐Order Conditions: Robust Replication of Orr (2022)
通过一阶条件揭示工厂—产品生产率:对 Orr(2022)的稳健复现
ABSTRACT We assess the replicability of Orr's (2022) method for estimating within‐plant productivity across product lines, which combines demand estimation with cost minimization. The original study uses input price shocks in other output markets as instrumental variables, with exclusion restrictions based on downstream purchase shares. Reconstructing the original dataset of Indian machinery producers from 2000–2007, we reproduce the main productivity patterns and…
