摘要

在千年之交,发展中国家面临着双重挑战。首先,出于代内和代际公正的原因,这些国家需要走可持续发展的道路。其次,它们需要了解非正规性的深层原理,因为非正规性现已被公认为是其经济结构的一种现象。本文通过研究尼日利亚企业的正规与非正规性如何影响其可持续和负责任的创新(S&RI)活动,揭示了这两个目标之间的关系。通过使用熵平衡方法分析从尼日利亚商业创新调查中提取的新数据库,我们发现尼日利亚注册企业参与可持续和负责任创新的程度远高于非注册企业。这表明,从可持续发展的角度来看,在承认非正规经济部门在经济中的重要作用与促进激励企业退出非正规经济部门的政策之间,不应存在任何停滞。通过鼓励非正规经营的公司注册,这些政策应有助于尼日利亚向可持续的市场经济过渡。

Firms' sustainable and responsible innovation in Nigeria: Does informality play a role?

At the turn of the millennium, developing countries face a twofold challenge. First, for reasons related to both intra- and inter-generational justice, these countries need to follow sustainable development pathways. Second, they need to understand the deep principles underpinning informality, which is by now recognized as a structuring phenomenon of their economies. This paper sheds light on the relationship between these two goals by investigating how a Nigerian firm being formal versus informal affects its sustainable and responsible innovation (S&RI) activity. Using the entropy balancing methodology to analyze a novel database extracted from the Nigerian Business Innovation Surveys, we find that registered Nigerian firms engage in S&RI much more than those that are not. This suggests that, from the perspective of sustainable development, there should be no hiatus between recognizing the important role of the informal sector in the economy and promoting policies that give firms incentives to exit from it. By encouraging the registration of firms operating informally, these policies should help Nigeria in its transition to a sustainable market economy.
