Tóm tắt

Trong một số bối cảnh, các doanh nghiệp phải đối mặt với một số yếu tố hay nhân tố tác động đến kết quả sản xuất nhưng không thuộc thị trường và do đó không có giá cả. Trong bài viết này, chúng tôi đề xuất một cách sử dụng mới của công cụ kinh tế sản xuất, hàm khoảng cách vào đầu vào, để đo lường thực nghiệm tác động của những yếu tố này. Mặc dù chúng tôi đề xuất một cách sử dụng chung của phương pháp này, nhưng nó được phát triển trong bối cảnh đo lường tác động của các cuộc tranh chấp lao động tại một ngành đang suy giảm, đó là ngành khai thác than ở Tây Ban Nha. Chúng tôi đã ước lượng một hệ phương trình bao gồm hàm khoảng cách vào đầu vào và các phương trình chia sẻ chi phí để tính toán chi phí phát sinh từ các cuộc đình công.
