Extent and Determinants of Resource Misallocation: A Cross-section Study for Developing Countries

Several factors distorting the allocation of resources across heterogeneous production units can be responsible for differences in total factor productivity (TFP) and output per capita across countries. Identifying and measuring the effect of specific distortions at country level have relevant polic...
