Abstract

While several past studies have measured the impact of standards on indicators such as output and productivity for a variety of countries, a quantitative analysis that focuses on Belgium has not been performed yet. Based on a dataset containing sector level data spanning 25 years (1994-2018), the authors find that, next to capital investment and the number of patents, standards make a statistically significant, positive and substantial contribution to Belgian GDP as well as to labor productivity. More specifically, one additional standard will on average increase GDP by €2.04 million per year and will increase labor productivity per person employed by €11.5. In addition, standards contribute to about 0.2% of GDP, 19% of GDP growth, and 19% of labor productivity growth.

比利时标准的经济影响

虽然过去的几项研究衡量了标准对各国产出和生产率等指标的影响，但尚未对比利时进行定量分析。基于包含跨越25年(1994-2018)的行业层面数据的数据集，作者发现，除了资本投资和专利数量之外，标准对比利时GDP和劳动生产率做出了统计上显著、积极和实质性的贡献。更具体地说，一个额外的标准将使GDP平均每年增加204万欧元，并将使人均劳动生产率提高11.5欧元。此外，标准对GDP增长的贡献约为0.2%，对GDP增长的贡献为19%，对劳动生产率增长的贡献为19%。
