本文在《中国》一书中考察了集聚经济对企业生产率的影响以及吸收能力的作用。考虑到转型的经济背景，我进一步利用市场化改革的渐进和空间不平衡实施来追踪企业吸收能力对经济追赶的相对重要性。三个主要结果如下。首先，当公司位于相关活动网络更密集的地区时，表现出更高的生产率，特别是对于吸收能力更强的公司。其次，生产率提高的来源是由更好地获得投入、相似的工人和与技术相关的知识溢出所产生的外部性推动的。第三，在更密集的市场化经济改革之后，吸收能力在提高生产率方面的作用变得更加重要。这些发现对转型经济体具有重要的政策含义，并表明市场改革促进了与实际研发相关的效率提高，并鼓励企业寻找外部知识来源，以获得市场竞争力。
This paper examines the effect of agglomeration economies on firm productivity and the role of absorptive capacity in China. Taking into account the transitioning economy context, I further exploit the gradual and spatially uneven implementation of market-oriented reforms to track the relative importance of firms’ absorptive capacity for economic catch-up. The three main results are as follows. First, firms exhibit higher productivity when located in an area with a denser network of related activities, particularly for firms with higher absorptive capacity. Second, the sources of the productivity gains are driven by externalities that arise from better access to inputs, similar workers and technological-related knowledge spillovers. Third, the role of absorptive capacity becomes more important for boosting productivity following more versus less intensive market-oriented economic reforms. These findings have important policy implications for transitioning economies and suggest that market reforms promote efficiency improvements related to performing actual R&D as well as encourage firms to seek out external sources of knowledge in order to attain market competitiveness.
