Description
- In the thesis I exploit an empirical analysis on firm's productivity. I relate the efficiency at plant level with the input market features and I suggest an estimation technique for production function that takes into account firm's liquidity constraints. The main results are three. When I consider services as inputs for manufacturing firm's production process, I find that more competition in service sector affects positively plants productivity and export decision. Secondly liquidity constraints are important for the calculation of firm's productivity because they are a second source of firm's heterogeneity. Third liquidity constraints are important for firm's internationalization
