在本文中，我们估计的影响，产品市场竞争和技能短缺的生产力水平的表现，加拿大制造业企业。我们使用加拿大统计局1999年创新调查中的企业对竞争环境的感知来衡量产品市场竞争和技能短缺。我们认为，这种看法是重要的生产力水平的表现。在控制了其他因素后，我们发现产品市场竞争对大中型企业的绩效有正向影响，而技能短缺对中小型企业的绩效有负向影响。
In this paper, we estimate the impacts of product market competition and skill shortages on the productivity level performance of Canadian manufacturing firms. We use firms’ perceptions of their competitive environment from the Statistics Canada 1999Survey of Innovationto measure product market competition and skill shortages. We argue in the paper that such perceptions are important for productivity level performance. After controlling for other factors, we find that product market competition has a positive impact on the performance of medium-sized and large-sized firms, and that skill shortages have a negative impact on the performance of small-sized and medium-sized firms.
