We propose to model the distribution of VA per worker using the four-parameter Lévy stable distribution, a natural candidate deriving from the generalized ...

The Cyclicality of Productivity Dispersion - IDEAS/RePEc

Abstract. Using plant-level data, I show that the dispersion of total factor productivity in U.S. durable manufacturing is greater in recessions than in booms.

Firm-level productivity dispersion and convergence - ScienceDirect

The main stylised result from this study is an increasing dispersion of firm-level productivity, which points to a deterioration of factor allocation.

Productivity Dispersion, Between‐Firm Competition, and the Labor ...

The key theoretical finding is that the distribution of firm productivity is a central determinant of the aggregate labor share. I find that ...
