Evaluating the Impact of Public Policies on Large Firms: A Synthetic Control Approach to Science Industry Transfer Policies 评估公共政策对大企业的影响:科学产业转移政策的综合控制方法
C. Autant-Bernard, Ruben Fotso, N. Massard
Large firms dominate R&D investment in most countries and receive the majority of public R&D funding. Due to methodological difficulties, however, evaluation of the effect of government-sponsored R&D programmes mainly focuses on small-and medium-sized enterprises. The scarcity of large firms and their heterogeneity hampers the ability to find proper counterfactuals for very large companies and makes it difficult to use proper inference methods to measure the impact of a specific policy. In order to address these methodological issues, we propose using the synthetic control method, initially developed by Abadie et al. (2010) to evaluate programmes on a regional scale. We apply this method to evaluate the impact of a new French science-industry transfer initiative and compare the results with the random trend model and more standard counterfactual approaches. Based on data covering a long pre-treatment period (1998-2011) and ongoing treatment period (2012-2015), we reveal a convergence between the results obtained with the synthetic control method and the random trend model, and demonstrate that traditional counterfactual evaluation methods are not appropriate for large firms. Moreover, the synthetic control method has the advantage of providing an individual assessment of the policy impact on each firm. In the specific case of the French science-industry transfer initiative, it reveals that the impact on private R&D is highly heterogenous both on RD inputs and cooperation behaviours. Beyond this specific transfer policy, this study suggests that the synthetic control method opens new research perspectives in policy impact evaluation at the firm level.

在大多数国家,大型企业主导着研发投资,并获得了大部分公共研发资金。然而,由于方法上的困难,对政府资助的研发项目效果的评价主要集中在中小企业。大公司的稀缺性及其异质性阻碍了为非常大的公司找到适当的反事实的能力,并使得难以使用适当的推理方法来衡量特定政策的影响。为了解决这些方法学问题,我们建议使用最初由Abadie等人(2010)开发的综合控制方法来评估区域范围内的项目。我们应用这种方法来评估一项新的法国科技产业转移倡议的影响,并将结果与随机趋势模型和更标准的反事实方法进行比较。基于较长的预处理期(1998-2011年)和持续处理期(2012-2015年)的数据,我们揭示了综合控制方法与随机趋势模型所得结果之间的收敛性,并证明了传统的反事实评估方法不适合大型企业。此外,综合控制方法的优点是提供对每个公司的政策影响的单独评估。在法国科技产业转移的具体案例中,研究表明,对私营企业研发的影响在研发投入和合作行为上都具有高度的异质性。在此基础上,综合控制方法为企业层面的政策影响评价开辟了新的研究视角。摘要:在大多数国家,大型企业主导着研发投资,并获得了大部分公共研发资金。然而,由于方法上的困难,对政府资助的研发项目效果的评价主要集中在中小企业。大公司的稀缺性及其异质性阻碍了为非常大的公司找到适当的反事实的能力,并使得难以使用适当的推理方法来衡量特定政策的影响。为了解决这些方法学问题,我们建议使用最初由Abadie等人(2010)开发的综合控制方法来评估区域范围内的项目。我们应用这种方法来评估一项新的法国科技产业转移倡议的影响,并将结果与随机趋势模型和更标准的反事实方法进行比较。基于较长的预处理期(1998-2011年)和持续处理期(2012-2015年)的数据,我们揭示了综合控制方法与随机趋势模型所得结果之间的收敛性,并证明了传统的反事实评估方法不适合大型企业。此外,综合控制方法的优点是提供对每个公司的政策影响的单独评估。在法国科技产业转移的具体案例中,研究表明,对私营企业研发的影响在研发投入和合作行为上都具有高度的异质性。在此基础上,综合控制方法为企业层面的政策影响评价开辟了新的研究视角。

Estimating Market Power from Input-Output Tables and Entropy Econometrics 从投入产出表和熵计量经济学估计市场力量
Adrian Rodriguez del Valle, Esteban Fernández-Vázquez
The study of market power has gained a lot of attention by scholars and policy-makers since De Loecker and Eeckhout (2018). In their work, they show the temporal evolution of market power worldwide using detailed data from the financial statements of thousands of firms. In this paper, we propose an alternative way of estimating market power using sectoral-based data. By utilizing the aggregates observable in a series of Input-Output Tables (IOT's) and by applying an estimation procedure based on entropy; indicators of market power can be derived without requiring the use of micro-data. We document a heterogeneous evolution of market power across 28 European countries and 14 manufacturing sectors between 2000 - 2014. Market power is found to be rising for several central- and East-European countries, while decreasing in multiple South- and West-European nations.
自De Loecker和Eeckhout(2018)以来,市场力量的研究得到了学者和政策制定者的广泛关注。在他们的工作中,他们使用来自数千家公司财务报表的详细数据,展示了全球市场力量的时间演变。在本文中,我们提出了一种使用基于部门的数据来估计市场力量的替代方法。通过利用一系列输入输出表(IOT’s)中可观察到的聚合,并通过应用基于熵的估计过程;不需要使用微观数据就可以得出市场力量的指标。我们记录了2000年至2014年间28个欧洲国家和14个制造业部门市场力量的异质演变。研究发现,在一些中欧和东欧国家,市场力量正在上升,而在多个南欧和西欧国家,市场力量正在下降。

Digital Technologies and the Nature and Routine Intensity of Work: Evidence from Hungarian Manufacturing Subsidiaries 数字技术与工作性质和日常强度:来自匈牙利制造子公司的证据
A. Szalavetz
This paper explores the impact of digital technologies on the nature and routine intensity of shopfloor work, the ways in which digital technologies exert their effects and the factors moderating the outcomes of digitalisation in respect of work. The effect of technology cannot be limited to a dichotomy of increasing versus decreasing degrees of routine. Instead, there are basic scenarios as far as the routine content of activities is concerned: a) no change in routine; b) increased routine; c) transformed routine; d) reduced routine. More specifically, drawing on data from Hungarian companies, we discuss the multiple ways that technology affects the nature and routineness of work. These include (i) workload and intensity of work; (ii) the degree to which tasks can be explicitly defined, measured and codified; (iii) task spectrum, i.e. the variability, complexity and diversity of work tasks; (iv) the composition and amount of skills required for task execution; (v) the importance of experience or tacit knowledge for task execution; and (vi) the value added of work tasks. Evidence indicates that the qualitative enrichment of shopfloor work and digital technology-induced reduction in the routine content of job tasks apply only to relatively skilled employees, albeit not exclusively in high-level shopfloor functions. It is argued that the beneficial effects of digital technologies materialise only if employees are skilled enough to be upskilled and become engaged not only in digitally-assisted but also in digitally-augmented, high-value activities.
本文探讨了数字技术对车间工作的性质和日常强度的影响,数字技术发挥其影响的方式以及在工作方面调节数字化结果的因素。技术的影响不能局限于增加和减少日常程度的二分法。相反,就活动的常规内容而言,有以下几种基本情况:a)常规不变;B)日常活动增加;C)转换后的例行程序;D)减少例行公事。更具体地说,根据匈牙利公司的数据,我们讨论了技术影响工作性质和例行性的多种方式。这些因素包括(i)工作量和工作强度;(ii)任务可以明确界定、衡量和编纂的程度;(iii)任务谱,即工作任务的可变性、复杂性和多样性;(iv)执行任务所需技能的组成和数量;(v)经验或隐性知识对执行任务的重要性;(六)工作任务的附加值。有证据表明,车间工作的质量丰富和数字技术导致的工作任务常规内容的减少只适用于相对熟练的员工,尽管并不仅限于高级车间职能。有人认为,数字技术的有益影响只有在员工足够熟练的情况下才能实现,不仅要参与数字辅助的活动,还要参与数字增强的高价值活动。

Common Ownership, Corporate Control and Price Competition 共同所有权、公司控制与价格竞争
Anna Bayona, Á. López, A. Manganelli
We examine price competition with homogeneous products in the presence
of general common ownership arrangements allowing for different corporate control structures. We show that equilibria with positive profits exist (including the
monopoly outcome) when the manager places the same weight on the profi of her firm as on the average profit of all the other firms. This condition supports symmetric and asymmetric stakes and can arise as an equilibrium of a network formation game or a bargaining process.
我们研究了在允许不同公司控制结构的一般共同所有权安排下同质产品的价格竞争。我们证明,当管理者对自己公司的利润和对所有其他公司的平均利润赋予相同的权重时,存在正利润均衡(包括垄断结果)。这个条件支持对称和非对称赌注,可以作为网络形成博弈或议价过程的均衡而出现。

Measuring the Impact of Internationalization on Firms’ Ability to Serve Existing Markets: A New Analytical Tool for Manufacturing SMEs 衡量国际化对企业服务现有市场能力的影响:制造业中小企业的一种新的分析工具
Angelo Arcuri
Firms expanding into foreign markets are confronted with a complex transformation process, affecting their organization and business activities. The present paper explores the main organizational changes stemming from an international growth process and attempts to assess their potential effects on firms’ operations in existing markets. To this purpose, it introduces a new analytical tool focusing on four operational dimensions, namely production capacity, quality, lead time and variety. The framework is specifically designed for manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises planning to develop or strengthen their international presence.

Entrepreneurial Human Capital and Firm Dynamics 企业家人力资本与企业动态
Francisco Queiró
This paper shows that entrepreneurial human capital is a key driver of firm dynamics using administrative panel data on the universe of firms and workers in Portugal. Firms started by more educated entrepreneurs are larger at entry and exhibit higher life cycle growth. Consistent with an effect on growth, the thickness of the right tail of the size distribution increases with entrepreneur schooling. The evidence points to several underlying mechanisms, with technology adoption playing the most important part. I develop and estimate a model of firm dynamics that can parsimoniously account for these findings, and use it to draw aggregate implications. Accounting for the effect of entrepreneurial human capital on firm dynamics can substantially increase aggregate returns to schooling and the fraction of cross-country income differences explained by human and physical capital.

High-Growth Platform in the Delivery Economy (WOLT - The Hungarian Case) 交付经济中的高增长平台(WOLT -匈牙利案例)
J. Pap, C. Mako, Illéssy Miklós
The following case study presents the working conditions and the room for collective bargaining for couriers working at the app-based food delivery company Wolt in Hungary. Interviews were made with both the management and the couriers. Wolt was founded in 2014 in Finland and has been expanding globally ever since, delivering in over 100 cities from 23 countries, and to seven million customers by 48,000 food couriers, from 27,000 restaurants. They entered the Hungarian market in 2018, and by early 2021 they deliver food from more than 2000 restaurants with 4-5000 couriers. The demand for food delivery has increased significantly due to the pandemic, providing much needed job opportunities for primarily young men. The first section of this case study presents the history and evolution of the company from a Finnish start-up to a global player, the second summarizes the most important lessons of the interviews with the management, and the third contrasts experiences of the platform workers based on: a) the basic socio-demographic characteristics of the interviewees, b) their most important sources of motivation, c) their perception on the advantages and disadvantages of this type of job, d) their economic situation compared to other unskilled jobs in Hungary; and finally e) the problematic aspects of the algorithmic management Before drawing our conclusions, we also briefly describe the driving and inhibiting factors of collective action and collective voice as well as how the pandemic has impacted the ecosystem of the food delivery business sector.
下面的案例研究展示了在匈牙利基于应用程序的食品配送公司Wolt工作的快递员的工作条件和集体谈判的空间。对管理人员和快递员都进行了采访。Wolt于2014年在芬兰成立,此后一直在全球扩张,在23个国家的100多个城市提供服务,并通过来自27,000家餐厅的48,000名食品快递员为700万客户提供服务。他们于2018年进入匈牙利市场,到2021年初,他们拥有4000 -5000名快递员,从2000多家餐厅送餐。由于大流行,对送餐服务的需求大幅增加,主要为年轻男子提供了急需的就业机会。本案例研究的第一部分介绍了公司从芬兰初创企业到全球参与者的历史和演变,第二部分总结了与管理层面谈的最重要的经验教训,第三部分对比了平台工作人员的经验,基于:a)受访者的基本社会人口特征,b)他们最重要的动机来源,c)他们对这类工作的优缺点的看法,d)与匈牙利其他非技术性工作相比,他们的经济状况;在得出结论之前,我们还简要介绍了集体行动和集体声音的驱动因素和抑制因素,以及疫情对外卖行业生态系统的影响。

Does Telecommuting Kill Service Innovation? 远程办公扼杀了服务创新吗?
M. Sarbu
Telecommuting gained an increasing importance for containment and employee protection since the Covid19-pandemic started. Telecommuting can give employees the autonomy to decide how to work, with a lot of unstructured time boosting creativity and innovation activity of employees. On the other hand, casual interactions in the firms between employees, lead to an information exchange that favors innovation. Telecommuting prevents casual interactions and, thus, might hamper innovation. Using individual-level data from 16,151 German employees, this paper analyzes the impact of telecommuting and its intensity on innovation in services. The analysis is based on a Probit model and Lewbel’s instrumental variable methods with generated instruments. The results reveal that telecommuters are more likely to be innovative in services. The intensity of telecommuting indicates that frequent telecommuting of employees is most beneficial for service innovation compared to other intensities, and women benefit even more than men from frequent telecommuting. Lewbel’s instrumental variable methods with generated instruments support robustness and causality of the findings.
自covid - 19大流行开始以来,远程办公对控制和员工保护的重要性日益增加。远程办公可以让员工自主决定如何工作,大量的非结构化时间可以促进员工的创造力和创新活动。另一方面,公司员工之间的随意互动会导致有利于创新的信息交换。远程办公妨碍了随意的互动,因此可能会阻碍创新。本文利用16,151名德国员工的个人数据,分析了远程办公及其强度对服务创新的影响。分析是基于Probit模型和lebel的工具变量方法与生成的仪器。研究结果显示,远程工作者更有可能在服务方面进行创新。远程办公的强度表明,与其他强度相比,员工频繁的远程办公对服务创新最有利,而且女性从频繁的远程办公中获益甚至比男性更多。lebel的工具变量方法与生成的工具支持鲁棒性和因果关系的发现。
