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 plant�s 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
