Dataset Description:
This dataset, hosted on Harvard Dataverse, contains the replication data for the study "Growth Off the Rails: Aggregate Productivity Growth in Distorted Economies" (Hornbeck & Rotemberg, 2024, Journal of Political Economy). It includes firm-level and industry-level historical data used to examine how resource misallocation and market distortions affect aggregate productivity growth, drawing on evidence from historical U.S. manufacturing to analyse the mechanisms through which distortions impede or redirect economic growth.
