Annex 1: Notations and Explanations of Variables
S.No. | Variable | Description | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | lnLP | Dependent variable, labour productivity expressed in natural log | Main |
2 | lnCI | Capital Per Worker. It is obtained by dividing the total fixed asset by total worker. The total fixed asset includes the market value of enterprises ‘own and hired fixed asset net of market value of capital in progress. | |
3 | lnEI | Refers to energy available per worker. This variable is obtained by adding market value of electricity and fuel consumed by enterprises in a reference period | |
4 | lnWage | Indicate Per Worker Emoluments that include salary and other allowances | |
5 | lnFemale | Female worker share in total worker of the enterprises | Labour |
6 | lnHired | Hired worker share in total worker of the enterprises | |
7 | lnAge | The survey does not report the age of enterprises directly. However, it provides the information on the initiation year/establishment year of the enterprises. Hence, the age of the enterprises is derived by subtracting the year of establishment from the surveyed year | enterprises |
8 | Rural | Dummy variable, 1 if the enterprises belong to rural, otherwise 0 | |
9 | Credit | Dummy variable, 1 if the enterprises has credit access from banks, otherwise 0 | |
10 | Problem | Dummy Variable, 1 if the enterprises reported any problem, otherwise zero? not clear? There is no firm that is free of any problem | |
11 | Registered | Dummy Variable, 1 if the enterprises is registered under any act, authority, etc., otherwise 0 | |
12 | Low_HDI | Dummy Variable,1 if the state’s HDI is low, otherwise 0 | State |
13 | Medium_HDI | Dummy Variable,1 if the state’s HDI is medium, otherwise 0 | |
14 | High_HDI | Dummy Variable,1 if the state’s HDI is high, otherwise 0 |
