In this paper we exploit policy reforms in the United Kingdom that changed entry conditions by opening up the U.K. economy during the 1980s and panel data on British establishments to shed light on this question. We show that more entry, measured by a higher share of industry employment in foreign firms, has led to faster total factor productivity growth of domestic incumbent firms and thus to faster aggregate productivity growth. date: 2004-04 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/154247604323067970 vfaculties: VSHS oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green doi: 10.1162/154247604323067970 lyricists_name: Aghion, P lyricists_name: Blundell, R lyricists_name: Griffith, R lyricists_id: PAGHI04 lyricists_id: RBLUN25 lyricists_id: RGRIF78 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of the European Economic Association volume: 2 number: 2-3 pagerange: 265-276 refereed: TRUE issn: 1542-4766 citation: Aghion, P.; Blundell, R.; Griffith, R.; Howitt, P.; Prantl, S.; (2004) Entry and productivity growth: evidence from microlevel panel data.
