基于2005~2007年我国30万家工业企业数据,使用倾向得分匹配模型(PSM),在控制样本选择偏误的基础上发现:集团化经营显著提高了企业的研发投入总量与研发投入强度:集团化经营通过集团内部资本市场缓解企业融资约束,以及内部知识溢出效应,促进企业研发投入;集团化经营对不同类型企业的研发投入都有促进作用,对高科技行业、私营企业的作用最为明显。在我国银行主导的金融结构背景下。企业集团可以在一定程度上弥补资本市场发育迟缓的局限性,是缓解企业融资约束、促进高科技产业发展的有效组织形式。
Using 300 thousand industrial enterprises' panel data from 2005 to 2007 in China, this paper analyzes the effects of business group on R&D investment, based on PSM model to avoid sample selection bias. Business group facilitates R&D investment provides a platform for resource sharing among affiliates and alleviating credit constraints. Knowledge spillover within business group is another channel to promote R&D investment. The findings indicate that firms that are affiliated with business groups take a larger amount and intensity of R&D investment than their unaffiliated counterparts, especially for privately-owned firms and in high-tech industries. Under undeveloped financial market, building business group is an effective way to alleviate credit constraints and promote the development of high-tech industries.
