Innovation output and state ownership: empirical evidence from China’s listed firms

Abstract

China has experienced a surge in innovation output in which state-owned enterprises (SOE) play an essential role. Using panel data of Chinese listed firms, this paper examines the influence of state ownership on innovation output at the firm level. Controlling for size, we analyse the effects of central and local government control on the number of firms’ patent applications in different time periods. Doing so, standard assumptions on state ownership’s inhibiting character are confirmed. However, we then qualify these findings by running separate models for different regions and sectors finding that the impact of state-control on innovation performance depends on a number of conditions. More precisely, state control of firms has a negative impact on innovation output in particular in China’s Northeast region and in mid-tech sectors whereas under other circumstances it does either not matter or can even exert a positive influence.     

Evaluating Advanced Manufacturing Technology in Chinese State-Owned Enterprises: A Survey and Case Studies

This paper investigates the current and future uses and payoffs of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) in Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), based on a small-scale survey and two case studies. The main conclusion is that Chinese SOEs are very keen to implement AMT and replace their outdated equipment. However, owing to the lack of financial resources and experience, the percentage of AMT in SOEs is still very low. Those AMT methods adopted range mainly between stand-alone systems and islands of automation. AMTs are adopted in the areas of planning and controlling, information management, design and engineering, fabrication, and assembly. Implications for practice and/or future research are discussed.This revised version with a corrected online cover date was published online in April 2004.     

委托代理分析框架下的国企监督机制研究

通过求解代理人问题模型,得出解决国有企业代理人问题必须激励与监督并举的结论。从委托人监督代理人经营者的角度,实行外派监事会和财务总监委派制是一种切实可行的监督机制。设计监督机制,要走出片面的“独立性”误区,使财务监督进入管理过程,使监督者参与企业剩余分配。     

地市级国资国企体制改革模式与路径研究

地市级国资国企相比于中央和省级层面,无论是数量、还是体量都相去甚远,在实施改革过程中,不能生搬硬套中央国资国企改革的做法,应按照其不同类别及功能,优化国资国企监管体制架构,改建设立国有资本投资运营公司,分类确定国有资本所占比重。去行政化是国资国企改革的前提,地方政府要提供相关的配套改革措施为前提,保证公司治理制度上的监督权和管理权分离,转变国资监管机构和行业主管部门的职能。
