Outsourcing and Firm Productivity in Irish Manufacturing
The causality from outsourcing, defined as the procurement of inputs from outside the boundaries of the firm, to productivity is tested for a large panel of Irish manufacturing firms. Theory suggests that as firms outsource more ‘non-core’ activities to specialized providers, productivity due to the firm benefiting from cheaper or higher-quality inputs and from reallocation of resources towards...
متن کاملFirm Productivity: an Empirical Analysis
Firms are increasingly sourcing internal information systems functions from external service providers.

متن کاملICT and Firm-Level Performance in Thailand: Findings of the Productivity and Investment Climate Survey
This paper investigates the relationship between ICT and firm performance. While the hype concerning the “New Economy” has largely subsided, the evidence concerning the economic impact of ICT has strengthened, largely through the use of firm-level data that empirically demonstrates a strong relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and measures of firm performance, inc...
متن کاملProductivity and Trade Orientation in UK Manufacturing
Productivity and Trade Orientation in UK Manufacturing Within a structural model we explicitly allow for the trade orientation of companies to estimate productivity dynamics within 4-digit UK manufacturing industries. We use the FAME data on UK companies over the period 1994-2003. Following Ackerberg et al. (2005) we adjust the algorithm in Olley and Pakes (1996) by augmenting investment and ex...
متن کاملOutward foreign direct investment and technical efficiency: Evidence from Taiwan's manufacturing firms
This paper uses firm-level panel data from Taiwan’s manufacturing industries from 1987 to 2000 to investigate the impact of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) on the technical efficiency of the OFDI firms. Propensity score matching is used to construct an appropriate group of non-OFDI firms to compare with OFDI firms, and a metafrontier framework is subsequently used to calculate comparab...
