Effect of Social Interactions and Digital Appropriation in the Individual Labor Participation in a Developing Country 社会互动与数字占有对发展中国家个体劳动参与的影响

The article discusses how social interactions and digital appropriation of technology affect the decisions of people to work or not work (labor participation) in a spatial context. An individual's decision to participate in the labor force is influenced by their neighbors in a spatial sense; that is, spatial neighborhoods affect individual choices related to labor supply. The digital appropriation index was built using intentions and uses of the internet to explain how social interactions between people affect individual labor participation. Spatial econometrics, using individual GPS data (latitude and longitude) in Cali (Colombia), show that social interaction and digital appropriation have positive externalities on labor participation—more appropriation of digital technology results in higher participation in the labor market. Direct effects show that an increase of one percent point (p.p.) in digital appropriation increases labor participation by 19.4 p.p. Indirect effects (externalities) show that an increase of one p.p. in digital appropriation increases labor participation by 8.5 p.p. These externalities of digital appropriation are interesting because active public policies oriented to the use of the Internet increase labor participation and improve labor market efficiency.

本文讨论了社会互动和数字技术占有如何影响人们在空间环境中工作或不工作的决定(劳动参与)。个体参与劳动力的决定在空间上受到其邻居的影响;即空间邻域影响与劳动力供给相关的个体选择。数字占用指数是利用互联网的意图和用途来解释人与人之间的社会互动如何影响个人的劳动参与。利用哥伦比亚卡利的个人GPS数据(纬度和经度)进行的空间计量经济学研究表明,社会互动和数字占用对劳动力参与具有正外部性——数字技术占用越多,劳动力市场参与度就越高。直接效应表明,数字挪用每增加一个百分点,劳动参与率就会提高19.4个百分点。间接效应(外部性)表明,数字挪用每增加一个百分点,劳动参与率就会提高8.5个百分点。这些数字挪用的外部性很有趣,因为面向互联网使用的积极公共政策增加了劳动参与率,提高了劳动力市场效率。

Institutional quality is recognized as a fundamental driver of long-run growth (Acemoglu et al. 2005) and it has been widely studied at both country and regional levels in the economic growth literature. Nevertheless, the literature is scant on the question of how this relationship behaves when the hierarchical structure of regions and countries is considered. To fill this gap, we propose a novel approach to the question, relying on multilevel econometric techniques. We empirically analyze how much of the effect shown by institutional quality on regional economic development can be attributed to the quality of national institutions. We argue that ignoring the multilevel structure may lead to over-weighting the real influence of regional institutional quality and, conversely, under-weighting (or directly overlooking) the effect of the country's institutional quality on regional economic development. We present empirical evidence that the national institutional level outweighs the possible effect of lower government tiers have on a region's economic development.

制度质量被认为是长期增长的基本驱动力(Acemoglu et al. 2005),在经济增长文献中,制度质量在国家和地区层面都得到了广泛的研究。然而,在考虑地区和国家的等级结构时,这种关系如何表现的问题上,文献很少。为了填补这一空白,我们提出了一种新的方法来解决这个问题,依靠多层次计量经济学技术。我们实证分析了制度质量对区域经济发展的影响在多大程度上可以归因于国家制度质量。我们认为,忽视多层次结构可能会导致高估区域制度质量的实际影响,反过来,低估(或直接忽视)国家制度质量对区域经济发展的影响。我们提出的实证证据表明,国家制度水平超过了下级政府层级对地区经济发展的可能影响。

This paper investigates the causal effects of road accessibility, measured by market potential, on firm births in Portuguese municipalities between 1991 and 2016, a period marked by significant road improvements. We address the endogeneity of market potential by employing instrumental variables within Poisson Pseudo-maximum Likelihood estimates with fixed effects, which we refer to as “non-local time-variant historical instruments.” Our estimated elasticities for firm births range from 1.6 to 1.9 for the 1-year interval and 1.2–1.3 for the 5-year interval. Additionally, we find a greater positive effect on firm births when excluding the metropolitan areas of Lisbon and Porto, which is indicative evidence of a heterogeneous spatial effect. We also find that the impact of the enlarged market potential is heterogeneous across sectors. Our results are robust to changes in model specification and the usage of alternative measures of the instruments.

本文调查了1991年至2016年间葡萄牙城市道路可达性(以市场潜力衡量)对企业出生率的因果影响,这一时期的道路状况得到了显著改善。我们通过使用固定效应的泊松伪极大似然估计中的工具变量来解决市场潜力的内生性问题,我们将其称为“非局部时变历史工具”。我们估计的企业出生率弹性在1年区间为1.6 - 1.9,5年区间为1.2-1.3。此外,当排除里斯本和波尔图的大都市地区时,我们发现对企业出生率的积极影响更大,这是异质性空间效应的指示性证据。我们还发现,市场潜力扩大对各行业的影响是不均匀的。我们的结果对模型规格的变化和仪器的替代措施的使用是稳健的。

Does knowledge complexity facilitate the upgrading of industrial structures? The paper analyses whether greater knowledge complexity promotes industrial structure upgrading from the three dimensions: complex knowledge accumulation, creation and diffusion. We emphasize that the local accumulation and creation of complex knowledge can promote innovation agglomeration, characterized by frequent innovation activity and high-tech industry concentration, leading to structural upgrading. Furthermore, the diffusion of complex knowledge among regions bridges regional differences and produces spatial spillover effects on structural upgrading. We chose China, a developing country, as our research setting, and used Chinese patent data to measure the knowledge complexity of 281 cities in China from 2004 to 2016 to verify the theoretical hypotheses. Our findings demonstrate that developing countries can follow a new path toward industrial structure upgrading by strengthening the innovation agglomeration effect of complex knowledge.

知识复杂性是否促进产业结构升级?本文从复杂知识积累、复杂知识创造和复杂知识扩散三个维度分析了知识复杂性是否促进了产业结构升级。我们强调,复杂知识的本地积累和创造可以促进创新集聚,其特征是创新活动频繁和高技术产业集中,从而导致结构升级。此外,复杂知识在区域间的扩散弥合了区域差异,并对结构升级产生了空间溢出效应。我们选择发展中国家中国作为研究背景,利用中国专利数据对中国281个城市2004 - 2016年的知识复杂性进行测度,验证理论假设。研究结果表明,通过强化复杂知识的创新集聚效应,发展中国家可以走出一条产业结构升级的新路。

The study employs a difference-in-differences method, utilizing panel data from 289 prefecture-level cities in China from 2003 to 2021 to analyze the impact of e-commerce pilot city policy on the “substantial to fictitious” transformation of private enterprises' economies. Research finds that, first, when a city becomes a national e-commerce pilot city, it significantly enhances the financialization level of private enterprises. Second, the e-commerce pilot city policy has a greater promoting effect on the financialization level of enterprises in industries with intense competition, first-tier and second-third-tier cities, and regions with higher degrees of marketization. Third, the construction of an e-commerce pilot city policy affects the financialization level of enterprises by alleviating financing constraints, enhancing the perception of economic uncertainty for enterprises, and reducing internal control quality. As for the main contributions of this article, first, it provides empirical evidence for whether it is reasonable for the current government to introduce preferential policies to promote the development of the real economy; second, it helps to deepen the understanding of the effectiveness of the “National E-Commerce Pilot City” policy in the real economy in recent years; third, it provides policy inspiration for further preventing excessive financialization of enterprises and helping the private economy “moving from virtual to real.”

本研究采用差分法,利用2003 - 2021年中国289个地级市的面板数据,分析了电子商务试点城市政策对民营企业经济“实向虚”转型的影响。研究发现,首先,一个城市成为国家电子商务试点城市后,民营企业金融化水平显著提升。二是电子商务试点城市政策对竞争激烈的行业、一、二三线城市和市场化程度较高的地区的企业金融化水平有较大的促进作用。第三,电子商务试点城市政策的构建通过缓解融资约束、增强企业对经济不确定性的感知、降低内部控制质量等方面影响企业的金融化水平。就本文的主要贡献而言,一是为当前政府出台优惠政策促进实体经济发展是否合理提供了实证证据;二是有助于加深对近年来“国家电子商务试点城市”政策在实体经济中的有效性的认识;第三,为进一步防止企业过度金融化,帮助民营经济“脱虚向实”提供政策启示。

GDP per capita is the prevailing measure commonly employed to assess economic growth in corruption-related studies, this study highlights the limitations of such measures when examining the impact of corruption on economic performance at the sub-regional level. Instead, productivity measures are employed to evaluate economic performance in this study. Using state-level data from India, we examine the linkage between economic performance and corruption. The findings from the dynamic panel threshold model demonstrate that corruption has a growth-enhancing effect on economic performance up to a specific threshold. Moreover, the influence of government spending on economic performance is also contingent on the corruption threshold. These findings emphasize the importance to combat corruption in order for states to achieve their full economic potential.

在与腐败有关的研究中,人均国内生产总值是通常用于评估经济增长的普遍措施,本研究强调了这些措施在审查腐败对次区域经济表现的影响时的局限性。在本研究中,生产率指标被用来评估经济绩效。我们利用印度的州级数据,研究了经济表现与腐败之间的联系。动态面板阈值模型的研究结果表明,在特定阈值范围内,腐败对经济绩效具有增长促进作用。此外,政府支出对经济表现的影响也取决于腐败门槛。这些调查结果强调了打击腐败的重要性,以使各国充分发挥其经济潜力。

The new environmental and geopolitical situation has led to the need for a change in the current energy model. The infrastructures associated with renewable energies may represent an opportunity for economic growth, employment generation, and population recovery in rural territories. This study evaluates the retrospective long-term impacts that renewable energy installations have had on several rural regions in Europe. To that end, we develop a novel database on the annual installed capacity of renewables for European NUTS2 regions. This includes data on wind and photovoltaic energy, allowing us to capture both the scale and growth of renewable energy infrastructure over time in European regions. The data set spans multiple decades. Finally, we evaluate the socioeconomic effects these installations have on Europe's renewable energy capacity intensive rural regions analysing the different intra- and interregional impacts, using the Synthetic Control Method.

This paper explores the impact of natural resource wealth on regional economic resilience and its transmission channels regarding entrepreneurship using prefecture-level evidence from China. Our results demonstrate a natural resource curse on economic resilience, in that more resource-rich regions have significantly less resistance to economic recessions. Furthermore, we present evidence that much of this curse operates through the channels of resource-based economy that represses entrepreneurship. Additional suggestive evidence indicates a greater likelihood of resource-rich regions being unenterprising localities, partly due to the highly standardized occupational structure and government-corruption-led deterioration of the institutional environment.

本文利用中国地级证据,探讨了自然资源财富对区域经济弹性的影响及其与企业家精神相关的传导渠道。我们的研究结果证明了自然资源对经济弹性的诅咒,资源丰富的地区对经济衰退的抵抗力明显较弱。此外,我们提供的证据表明,这种诅咒在很大程度上是通过压制创业精神的资源导向型经济渠道运作的。额外的证据表明,资源丰富的地区更有可能是缺乏进取心的地方,部分原因是高度标准化的职业结构和政府腐败导致的制度环境恶化。

Horizontal Clusters and Firm Resilience 水平集群与企业弹性

Riccardo Marzano

The paper examines the role that cluster-specific horizontal relationships play in firm resilience following a negative shock. We use the Emilia earthquake that hit part of Emilia-Romagna (Italy) in May 2012 to provide evidence of the negative effect of horizontal clustering on firm performance after a natural disaster. Moreover, empirical analyses show that firms within industrial districts are able to recover as soon as firms not belonging to industrial districts. The results are established controlling for a wide array of confounding factors, including local supply chain and infrastructure disruptions and alternative location-specific factors.

本文考察了集群特定的横向关系在负面冲击后的企业弹性中所起的作用。我们以2012年5月发生在意大利艾米利亚-罗马涅部分地区的艾米利亚地震为例,证明了自然灾害后水平集群对企业绩效的负面影响。此外,实证分析表明,工业区内的企业能够比非工业区内的企业更快地恢复。结果是建立在控制了一系列混杂因素的基础上的,包括当地供应链和基础设施中断以及其他特定地点的因素。

Territorial reforms of administrative boundaries primarily aim at pursuing cost and administrative efficiency objectives, but their impact on the political engagement of local communities remains unclear. Moreover, while amalgamations have been widely studied, little is known about the effects of territorial fragmentation. To bridge this gap, we examine a regional reform in Italy's Apulia region, wherein five municipalities voluntarily underwent division in the mid-1970s. Through examining its long-term effects on voter turnout, we uncover new insights on the potential merits of territorial fragmentation in fostering enhanced political engagement, especially at the local level.

行政边界的领土改革主要是为了追求成本和行政效率目标,但其对地方社区政治参与的影响仍不清楚。此外,虽然对合并进行了广泛的研究,但对领土分裂的影响知之甚少。为了弥补这一差距,我们研究了意大利普利亚地区的区域改革,其中五个城市在20世纪70年代中期自愿进行了划分。通过研究其对选民投票率的长期影响,我们发现了关于领土分裂在促进加强政治参与方面的潜在优点的新见解,特别是在地方一级。
