Abstract

This study investigates effects of imported intermediate inputs on firms' productivity in the Indian manufacturing. We use a panel data of manufacturing firms from 2001 to 2021 and adopt the production function approach for analysis. Our results confirm the crucial role of all three imported input types at aggregated and disaggregated levels. However, the productivity effect of imported raw materials is the largest, followed by finished goods and capital inputs. Results show the role of imports is marginally higher for high innovation, specialist-suppliers and science-based industries. We also show that spillover effects of foreign technology embodied in imported capital goods.

进口投入与生产率：解读印度制造业的发展动态

本研究探讨了进口中间投入对印度制造业企业生产率的影响。我们使用 2001 年至 2021 年制造业企业的面板数据，并采用生产函数法进行分析。我们的研究结果证实了所有三种进口投入类型在总量和分类水平上的关键作用。然而，进口原材料对生产率的影响最大，其次是成品和资本投入。结果表明，进口对高创新、专业供应商和以科学为基础的产业的作用略高。我们还表明，进口资本货物所体现的外国技术具有溢出效应。

期刊介绍： Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
