Abstract

Counterfeiting is a phenomenon that threatens global competition and economic growth, and it is well-known that the presence of illicit fake products unfairly altering competition, can affect firm profitability and even, in some cases, force owners to close their businesses or declare bankruptcy. By introducing three new complementary measures of counterfeiting, this study examines the intra- and inter-industry effects of counterfeiting on Italian firm survival taking into consideration the differing degree of a firm’s involvement in international trade activities. Overall, the results of micro-econometric analysis indicate that the probability of a genuine firm exiting the market increases when the effect flows from the “fake” sector to its upstream genuine suppliers; vice versa, it decreases when the effect flows from the “fake” sector to its downstream genuine customers. However, when classifying firms as trading and no trading firms, we found that these results are confirmed only for the latter. Our evidence, which is robust to different estimation methods, provides room for policy and manager interventions.

假冒和企业生存。国际贸易活动重要吗?
假冒是一种威胁全球竞争和经济增长的现象,众所周知,非法假冒产品的存在不公平地改变了竞争,可以影响公司的盈利能力,甚至在某些情况下,迫使所有者关闭企业或宣布破产。通过引入三种新的假冒补充措施,本研究考察了假冒对意大利企业生存的行业内和行业间影响,考虑到企业参与国际贸易活动的不同程度。总体而言,微观计量分析结果表明,当影响从“假冒”部门流向其上游的正品供应商时,正品企业退出市场的概率增加;反之,当这种效应从“假冒”行业流向下游的正品客户时,这种效应就会减弱。然而,当我们将公司划分为贸易型和非贸易型公司时,我们发现这些结果仅适用于后者。我们的证据对不同的估计方法是稳健的,为政策和管理者的干预提供了空间。
