investigate the distribution of labor productivity in different European
countries. We find that the upper tail of the empirical productivity
distributions follows a decaying power-law, whose exponent $alpha$ is obtained
by a semi-parametric estimation technique recently developed by Clementi et al.
(2006). The emergence of "fat tails" in productivity distribution has already
been detected in Di Matteo et al. (2005) and explained by means of a model of
social network. Here we show that this model is tested on a broader sample of
countries having different patterns of social network structure. These
different social attitudes, measured using a social capital indicator, reflect
in the power-law exponent estimates, verifying in this way the existence of
linkages among firms’ productivity performance and social network. Finally, we
study the relationships of aggregate productivity growth with social capital
and the tail exponents. | | Source: | arXiv, arxiv.0704.2163 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
