Notes: Estimations consider HGF dummy for Ethiopian manufacturing using establishment data from 1996 to 2009 from the Large and Medium Manufacturing Industries Survey from the Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency. Explanatory variables of interest include 3-year lagged plant-level TFP computed using the Levinsohn and Petrin methodology. Estimations report standard errors, clustered at the plant level. Agglomeration center is a dummy variable for plant location in top-five towns, which is defined as 1 if plant is located in any of the following cities/towns: Addis Ababa, Awassa, Bahir Dar, Dire Dawa and Mekele. Further indicators for distance from the nearest agglomeration centers are also considered. Industry concentration, measured through the Ellison-Glaeser index, and its interaction with location dummies are also included in full specification. These estimations consider the effects relative to towns that are more than 150 km from the nearest agglomeration center.
