摘要

东西德之间的生产力差距是公众和政策制定者长期以来一直在讨论的问题。地区差距似乎仍然很大。在本文中，我们揭示了分配效率作为地区生产力差距驱动因素的作用。我们的研究表明，东西部生产率差距的 50% 以上与前东德劳动力配置效率较低有关。在控制德国各联邦州之间的异质性的前提下，我们对官方企业层面的数据（AFiD）进行了空间回归，结果显示，地区间分配效率的差异与贸易开放度、竞争强度、规模经济和劳动力流动性有显著关联。

Allocative Efficiency, Plant Dynamics and Regional Productivity: Evidence from Germany

The productivity gap between East and West Germany is a long ongoing discussion among the public and policy makers. Regional disparities still appear to be substantial. In this paper, we shed light on the role of allocative efficiency as a region’s driver of productivity disparities. We show that over 50 percent of the East-West productivity gap is associated with a less efficient labor allocation in former East Germany. Controlling for the heterogeneity among German federal states, we perform spatial regression on official firm-level data (AFiD), revealing that the regional differences in allocative efficiency are significantly associated with trade openness, competitive intensity, economies of scale and labor mobility.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
