基于产业组织创新视角的外贸竞争秩序规制

产业组织创新会加强竞争有序化和提升国际竞争力这一基本事实,启发了人们对产业组织创新和优化外贸竞争秩序的思考。本文在比较分析美国、日韩、意大利和中国四种出口组织模式的基础上,认为我国以各自为战为特征的中小企业组织模式容易导致出口竞争的无序化并削弱国际竞争力;围绕这一分析主题,本文对组建出口联盟关乎外贸竞争秩序优化及相对应的产业组织创新等问题进行了分析,着重探讨了由竞争向合作转化以优化外贸竞争秩序的实现路径。作为对现实的一种佐证,本文对意大利中小企业出口协营组织的成功例证进行了经验性考察。最后,对我国如何创新产业组织以改善外贸竞争秩序提出了针对性建议。

Science Parks’ tenants versus out-of-Park firms: who innovates more? A duration model

We study the successfulness of Science Parks (SPs) as seedbeds of innovation. We investigate whether SPs enhance the innovative output of their tenants and if tenants outperform comparable outside-SPs firms. We rely on original matching datasets regarding in- and out-SP Finnish firms and their patenting activity over 1970–2002. We estimate and compare the ‘before-versus-after’ hazard rates of patenting of both samples. The results suggest that, given the existence of a common tendency to slow down the pace at which all firms patent during their life cycle, Park tenants exhibit a comparatively better performance. Results are robust to various model specifications and to Wald tests performed over the pooled samples.

The innovative performance of foreign-owned enterprises in small open economies

This paper compares the innovative performance of foreign-owned and domestically owned enterprises in five European countries. We look at innovation inputs, outputs, and examine how strong foreign-owned enterprises are embedded in the innovations systems of their host countries. We find that foreign ownership is associated with similar levels of innovation input, but higher levels of innovation output and higher labour productivity compared to domestic ownership. In four of the five countries, affiliates of foreign multinationals show a similar or even a higher propensity to co-operate with domestic partners than domestically owned enterprises.
