firms

Firm productivity and market shares adopted to
demonstrate the decomposition of firm dynamics

datasets

Decomposing value added growth into explanatory factors.
A cost constrained value added function is defined to specify the
production frontier. Industry estimates can also be aggregated using
a weighted average approach.
Details about the methodology and data can be found in Diewert and Fox (2018)
