“…The results of both approaches are consistent and strongly suggest that the positive association between sector-level diffusion of digital technologies and productivity growth is strongest for high productivity firms (or firms close to the frontier). 22…”

“…Given that these dummies could duplicate the information conveyed by the gap to frontier variable, we also ran the same regression omitting the gap. The results remained unchanged (seeAnnex Table B.7) 22. For brevity, we only report results for the 1 st principal component in the case of interaction with distance to the frontier.…”

“…We measure the competition-friendliness of regulation in upstream non-manufacturing industries using the 'Regimpact' indicator from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (Conway and Nicoletti, 2006;Égert and Wanner, 2016;Koske et al, 2015). This uses country-specific input-output weights to combine survey-based indicators of the competition-friendliness of regulation in several upstream non-manufacturing industries ( ), producing a measure of the degree of regulation affecting final output sectors: 1415…”

“…Reforms over the last thirty years have substantially increased the competition-friendliness of regulation in European product markets (Égert and Wanner, 2016). The overall median value of the Regimpact measure since 1999 is shown in Figure 2, while the trends in each country and consumption category are shown in Figure 6 in the Appendix.…”

We examine the role of market characteristics and timing in explaining observed heterogeneity in VAT pass-through. We first extend existing theory to characterize the roles of imperfect competition and product differentiation, then investigate these relationships empirically using a panel of 14 Eurozone countries between 1999 and 2013. We find important roles for product market regulation and product quality, and little impact of advance announcement of reforms. Our findings have important implications for policy-makers considering VAT rate adjustments, by illuminating which of the consumers or the producers would experience the brunt of a reform across different settings.

“…Reforms over the past few years have improved policy settings, but there is scope for further strengthening competition in some areas. Regulatory settings in some of Portugal's professional services, such as accountants, lawyers, architects and engineers, are more restrictive than in most other OECD economies (Égert and Wanner, 2016). The OECD Services Trade Restrictiveness Indicator (STRI) also highlights barriers to competition through international trade in these services ( Figure 15).…”
