摘要

我利用官方制造业普查中的工厂级数据,研究了俄罗斯帝国自 1908 年前后两种企业形式的生产率。我发现,尽管公司所拥有的金融资本是普通合伙企业和有限合伙企业的 60 倍,但公司所拥有的工厂并不优于普通合伙企业和有限合伙企业所拥有的工厂。尽管公司每名工人的机械化程度更高,但两种企业形式的资本和劳动生产率以及全要素生产率却不相上下。只有在金属和机械行业,公司的劳动生产率高于合伙企业。这些发现表明,俄罗斯工厂在相当有限的范围内利用了公司形式的独特优势:建造更大规模的工厂和开展更大型的项目,但并没有将生产率提高到合伙形式的水平之上。我还发现,与公司制工厂相比,合伙制工厂每名工人发生的事故更少。

Corporations and partnerships: Factory productivity in late Imperial Russia

Using factory-level data from an official manufacturing census, I examine productivity among two forms of enterprise in the Russian Empire from around 1908. I find that despite having 60 times more financial capital, factories owned by corporations did not outperform those owned by ordinary and limited partnerships. Although corporations were more mechanized per worker, both enterprise forms attained equal capital and labor productivity and total factor productivity. Corporations attained higher labor productivity than partnerships only in the metals and machinery industry. These findings suggest that Russian factories used the corporate form's unique advantages in a rather limited way: to build larger factories and undertake larger projects, but not to enhance productivity beyond the level of the partnership form. I also find that there were fewer accidents per worker at partnership-owned factories than at corporations.
