      Capital-Embodied Structural Change 
     with Elisa Keller
      What is the role of capital-embodied technical change (CETC) for sectorial labor reallocation, i.e. structural change, and growth? We document differential patterns of workers' exposure to CETC across countries and study its impact for the speed of sectorial labor reallocation.

      Efficiency with Equilibrium Marginal Product Dispersion and Firm Selection ​
 In a variety of economies that display input misallocation and market power, welfare gains of implementing policies that do not target firm characteristics, for example, subsidies to firm entry and exit, are summarized by a single statistic: the change in average revenue product and the number of operating units in the market.
