Abstract
As a newly-industrialized country, Taiwan has gone through a vast industrial transformation. To reflect the impacts of innovation on firms' performance, we adopt a modified CDM (Crepon et al., 1998) model and focus on the innovation activities of Taiwanese manufacturing firms, especially on the comparison between OEM and non-OEM. Two data sources are uniquely compiled; one is the TTIS-II, and the other is the ICSC. Our findings suggest that considering the whole sample, only process innovation will improve both TFP growth and labor productivity growth. However, there exists a complementary relationship between product and process innovation on productivity among OEM.
台湾作为一个新兴工业化国家,经历了巨大的产业转型。为了反映创新对企业绩效的影响,我们采用修正的CDM模型(Crepon et al., 1998),并聚焦台湾制造企业的创新活动,特别是OEM与非OEM的比较。两个数据源是唯一编译的;一个是TTIS-II,另一个是公务员制度委员会。我们的研究结果表明,考虑到整个样本,只有工艺创新才能促进全要素生产率增长和劳动生产率增长。但在OEM中,产品创新与工艺创新对生产率的影响存在互补关系。
