摘要

本文分析了创新在企业生产力演化中的作用，并区分了质量改进创新和成本降低创新。利用中国电子行业数据估算的动态结构模型，我们发现质量创新虽然成本更高，但能提高国内收入，而成本创新更能支持出口绩效。我们的反事实分析表明，企业对成本创新和出口的固定成本补贴最敏感。然而，当引入固定预算约束时，质量创新补贴的有效性赶上了前两者。我们还发现，小型和经验不足的公司倾向于通过出口来应对，而大型和经验丰富的公司更有可能通过创新来应对。

Quality innovation, cost innovation, exporting, and firm productivity evolution: Evidence from the Chinese electronics industry

This study analyzes the role of innovation in firm productivity evolution, distinguishing between quality-improving and cost-reducing innovations. Using a dynamic structural model estimated with data from the Chinese electronics industry, we find that quality innovation, while more costly, boosts domestic revenue, whereas cost innovation better supports export performance. Our counterfactual analysis shows that firms are most responsive to fixed-cost subsidies for cost innovation and exporting. However, when a fixed-budget constraint is introduced, the effectiveness of the quality innovation subsidy catches up with the other two. We also find that small and inexperienced firms tend to respond by exporting, while large and experienced firms are more likely to respond by innovating.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
