Understanding the life-cycle of a manufacturing plant

Author

  • Aubhik Khan

Abstract

In the final article this quarter, Aubhik Khan wonders: What determines whether a manufacturing plant survives? Is it access to credit markets? Or does learning about plants' profitability over time determine survival? Should government policy play a role in helping plants survive? In \\"Understanding the Life-Cycle of a Manufacturing Plant,\\" Khan discusses the collateral and learning views as two possible explanations for a typical plant's life-cycle. He concludes that although it remains unclear as to which explanation is more relevant, the two views have very different implications for what government can do and what it should do.
