mditools: Microdata Infrastructure Tools for Firm-Level Microdata Research
Supports the full analysis pipeline for researchers working with
firm-level microdata. Provides data tools for panel preparation (import,
outlier detection, classification harmonization), analytical methods
(production function estimation, capital stock measurement, markups,
intensity measures, distributions, regression, clustering), and disclosure
tools for tagging outputs with dominance and observation counts before
aggregation and publication.
Production function estimation implements methods by Ackerberg, Caves and
Frazer (2015) <doi:10.3982/ECTA13408>, Levinsohn and Petrin (2003)
<doi:10.1111/1467-937X.00246>, Wooldridge (2009)
<doi:10.1016/j.econlet.2009.04.026>, Petrin, Poi and Levinsohn (2004)
<doi:10.1177/1536867X0400400202>, and Arellano and Bond (1991)
<doi:10.2307/2297968> with the "too many instruments" correction by
Roodman (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0084.2008.00542.x>. Markup estimation
follows De Loecker and Warzynski (2012) <doi:10.1257/aer.102.6.2437>.
Cost-share production function estimation follows Basu and Fernald (1997)
<doi:10.1086/262073>. Capital stock estimation via the Perpetual Inventory
Method follows OECD (2009) <doi:10.1787/9789264068476-en>.
