Firm Productivity in Bangladesh Manufacturing Industries

This paper studies the correlates of firm total factor productivity (TFP) in Bangladesh using data from a recent survey of large manufacturing firms. TFP measures are obtained following [Ackerberg, D., Caves, K., and Frazer, G. (2007). Structural identification of production functions. UCLA mimeo] a...

Controlling for industry, location, and year fixed effects, we find that firm size and TFP are negatively correlated while firm age and TFP exhibit an inverse U-shaped relationship. We also find that managerial quality and global integration are positively associated with firm TFP. Finally, we find that power supply problems, heavy bureaucracy, and the presence of crime dampen firm TFP. 2012-03-30T07:34:14Z 2012-03-30T07:34:14Z 2008 Journal Article World Development 0305750X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5725 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Bangladesh
