加成率估算方法研究述评与展望

Review and Prospect of Markup Estimating Methods

产业组织理论中对如何估算加成率的研究由来已久,由于边际成本的数据难以获得且度量困难,早期实证产业组织中对加成率的估算主要依赖于会计法和需求法。不过,自从Hall(1988)开创了使用生产法估算加成率的先河后,生产法迅速发展,当前已然成为估算加成率的主流方法。为此,本文从行业层面、企业层面和产品层面三个维度对如何使用生产法来估算加成率的相关文献进行了系统性的梳理,重点介绍了生产法中估算加成率的Hall模型、Klette模型、Roeger模型、DLW模型和De Locker et al.模型五个主流模型,同时对这些模型的适用条件以及各自的优势与劣势进行了比较。通过总结已有相关文献,挖掘未来研究方向,本文为今后相关学者从事更进一步的研究提供了借鉴参考。

In industrial organization,how to estimate markup has been studied for a long time.As it is difficult to quantify marginal cost,estimating markup mainly depends on the accounting method and the demand method in the early empirical industry organization.However,since Hall(1988)founds the beginning of estimating markup with the production method,the production method has been developing rapidly and becomes the main method of estimating markup currently.Therefore,from the perspectives of industry-level,firm-level and product-level,this paper systematically reviews the literature on how to estimate markup with the production method,and introduces five major models in the production method,such as Hall model,Klette model,Roeger model,DLW model and De Locker et al.Model.At the same time,this paper compares these models’applicable conditions,advantages and disadvantages respectively.By summarizing the relevant literature and exploring the future research direction,this paper provides reference for scholars engaged in further research.
