本文提出了一个关于资本利用和退休的微观计量模型。在美国水泥行业的背景下,通过求解离散选择随机动态规划模型,可以得到公司关于现有资本的离散决策问题的估计-无论是运营、持有闲置资本还是将其退休。然后,这些估计值被用来模拟产品和投入价格的变化,以及水泥窑大小和年限的变化对企业运营、闲置和退役水泥窑倾向的影响。
The paper presents a micro-econometric model of capital utilization and retirement. Estimates of a firm's discrete decision problem with regard to an existing piece of capital—whether to operate, hold idle or retire it—are obtained, in the context of the U.S. cement industry, by solving a discrete-choice stochastic dynamic programming model. The estimates are then used to simulate the effects of product and input price changes, and changes in the size and age of a cement kiln on a firm's propensity to operate, hold idle and retire a kiln.
