摘要

直到今天，数字化，特别是个别数字技术如何影响生产力的问题仍然是有争议的辩论主题。利用荷兰和德国统计局提供的行政企业层面的数据，我们调查了数据的经济重要性，特别是大数据分析（BDA）的应用与企业层面的劳动生产率（LP）之间的关系。我们发现，仅仅使用BDA的简单二值度量无法捕捉BDA和LP之间的关联。相比之下，BDA多样性的测量（定义为跨多个数据源进行BDA）清楚地显示，即使在控制了公司的总体数字化水平之后，BDA与LP之间也存在正相关的统计显著关系。因此，我们的研究结果表明，实施BDA的公司可以通过整合来自多个领域的数据来实现更大的生产力收益。

Big data and firm-level productivity – A cross-country comparison

Until today, the question of how digitalisation and, in particular, individual digital technologies affect productivity is still the subject of controversial debate. Using administrative firm-level data provided by the Dutch and the German statistical offices, we investigate the economic importance of data, in particular, the relation between the application of big data analytics (BDA) and labour productivity (LP) at the firm level. We find that a simple binary measure indicating the mere usage of BDA fails to capture the association between BDA and LP. In contrast, measures of BDA diversity, defined as conducting BDA across multiple data sources, clearly show a positive and statistically significant relationship between BDA and LP, even after controlling for a firm's general digitalisation level. Hence, our results suggest that one mechanism through which firms conducting BDA may achieve greater productivity gains is by incorporating data from multiple domains.

期刊介绍： IEP is an international journal that aims to publish peer-reviewed policy-oriented research about the production, distribution and use of information, including these subjects: the economics of the telecommunications, mass media, and other information industries, the economics of innovation and intellectual property, the role of information in economic development, and the role of information and information technology in the functioning of markets. The purpose of the journal is to provide an interdisciplinary and international forum for theoretical and empirical research that addresses the needs of other researchers, government, and professionals who are involved in the policy-making process. IEP publishes research papers, short contributions, and surveys.
