报告简介:Despite the fact that management is an important factor in production we know surprisingly little about its optimal use. The reason is that generally we neither observe management’s quantity nor its price. In this paper we take advantage of the quantity measurement effort by Bloom and Van Reenen (2007) and estimate the shadow price of management. Besides producing a monetary value for management, relative shadow prices also allow us to analyze how easily management substitutes with other inputs and whether it is used optimally in relation to those other inputs. We find that the shadow price of management is about 1.3 million US dollars. Management substitutes for labor and capital but on average firms’ management practices are too poor relative to their use of labor and capital.
