Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Recent evidence for several countries shows a decline in TFP growth.
However, there is not much evidence for developing countries and much less
regarding the impact of competition in product markets. In this paper, we
analyze the impact of competition on selection and productivity growth in
Chile. Our results indicate that competition has a positive effect on TFP
growth and the probability of exit for lagging firms. Our results are robust to
alternative methodologies for calculating TFP and to the inclusion of other
variables that may affect firms’ TFP growth.
