Abstract

ABSTRACT Investing in knowledge and innovation is recognised as a key driver of economic growth in any country. This paper contributes to the thin literature on innovation determinants in developing economies by empirically examining the impact of macro-level obstacles to business on small and medium-sized enterprises’ innovations in three Arab countries, namely, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. While R&D emerged as the main factor that impacts positively and significantly the likelihood that firms innovate and succeed in producing a diverse set of product and process innovations, different combinations of other factors proved to affect innovation in each of the three countries.
发展中经济体商业和创新的宏观障碍:来自埃及、摩洛哥和突尼斯中小企业的证据
对知识和创新的投资被认为是任何国家经济增长的关键驱动力。本文通过实证研究埃及、摩洛哥和突尼斯三个阿拉伯国家宏观层面的商业障碍对中小企业创新的影响,为研究发展中经济体创新决定因素的薄弱文献做出了贡献。虽然研发成为了对企业创新的可能性产生积极和显著影响的主要因素,并在生产多种产品和工艺创新方面取得成功,但事实证明,其他因素的不同组合对这三个国家的创新都有影响。
