Jiang, Wei, Leon-Ledesma, Miguel A. (2018) Variable markups and capital-labor substitution. Economics Letters, 171 (2018). pp. 34-36. ISSN 0165-1765. (doi:10.1016/j.econlet.2018.07.011) (KAR id:67569)

Abstract

We provide new estimates of the elasticity of capital-labor substitution

(?) and the bias in technical change allowing price markups to change over

time as shown in De Loecker and Eeckhout (2017). Our estimate of ? is in

the region of 0.8 and technical change is net capital-augmenting.
