Labour productivity growth differentials


Table summary
This table displays the results of labour productivity growth differentials. The information is grouped by comparison (appearing as row headers), difference in labor productivity growth, calculated using coefficient and standard error units of measure (appearing as column headers).
Comparison Difference in labor productivity growth
  coefficient standard error
Panel A – Compared to
entrants to export markets (G1)		  
Non-exporters (G2) (G2 minus
G1)		 -2.6  Note * 1.1
Non-exporters with no new domestic
market (G21) (G21 minus G1)		 -3.6  Note * 1.1
Non-exporters with new domestic
market (G22) (G22 minus G1)		 1.6 1.4
Panel B – Compared to
continuing exporters (G3)		  
Exiters from export markets (G4)
(G4 minus G3)		 -1.6 1.2
Exiters from export markets with
no new domestic market (G41) (G41 minus G3)		 -2.5  Note * 1.3
Exiters from export markets with
new domestic market (G42) (G42 minus G3)		 1.3 2.4
Panel C – Additional
comparisons		  
Non-exporters with new domestic
market versus non-exporters with no new domestic market (G22 minus G21)		 5.1  Note * 1.2
Exiters with new domestic market
verus exiters with no new domestic market (G42 minus G41)		 3.9 2.6
significantly different from reference category (p < 0.05).    
Note(s): "G" numbering represents various plant grouping. The table reports the coefficients for the interaction term of the time dummy and the group dummy in equation (1). For full regression results for the eight comparisons, see Appendix. Results are obtained by pooling data over two periods: 1990 to 1993 or 1993 to 1996 and 2000 to 2003 or 2003 to 2006. All estimates control for period-specific fixed effects, fixed four-digit North American Industry Classification System industry-specific fixed effects, and plant characteristics (relative labour productivity, relative employment, age, foreign ownership, and share of non-production workers at the start of a period, i.e., 1990 and 2000).
