　View Summary

The number of temporary workers in Japan's labor market has increased rapidly since the 1990s. This trend is particularly remarkable in the manufacturing sector, which now relies on sales to foreign markets. This paper formalizes the idea that global competition may encourage manufactures to shift from permanent to temporary workers, proposing a model of multi-product firms motivated to reduce revenue fluctuations. Firms prefer lower sales volatility because of labor adjustment costs. In such a framework, trade liberalization encourages firms to reduce the number of products, which raises the demand for temporary workers because they entail no firing costs. The model is also empirically tested using micro-data from Japanese manufacturing plants. The model's predictions are moderately supported.

How Does FDI Affect Performance at Home? An Activity-level Analysis for Japanese Electrical Machinery and Electronics Firms (co-authored with Kazuyuki Motohashi and Kazunobu Hayakawa)

MATSUURA TOSHIYUKI

KEIO/KYOTO GLOBAL COE DISCUSSION PAPER DP2009-002 2009.06

Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work

　View Summary

Focusing on firms from the electrical machinery and electronics industry, this paper investigates the
impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on home productivity using activity-level data rather than, as
most previous studies have done, firm-level data. Distinguishing between horizontal and vertical FDI
(HFDI and VFDI), it is argued that VFDI changes the activities that firms are engaged in at home after the
relocation of production, altering firms’ production function. This means that a direct comparison of
productivity at the firm-level before and after the relocation of production is inappropriate. Instead, in
order to assess the impact of FDI on home productivity, it is necessary to use activity-level data. Doing so,
we obtain results that are consistent with theoretical predictions: HFDI does not necessarily have a
significant positive effect on home productivity in activities that parallel those conducted by affiliates
abroad. On the other hand, VFDI significantly enhances productivity in activities that have an input-output
relationship with the activity relocated abroad.

　View Summary

本稿では、経済産業研究所における企業・産業生産性研究会において実施した、ミクロ・データによる日本企業の生産性分析に関する研究成果を、企業の参入・退出と企業のグローバル化という2つの論点を中心に紹介する。企業の参入・退出に関する分析の多くは、マクロ、産業レベルの生産性変動を要因分解し、個々の企業・事業所の生産性変動と、参入・退出、および既存企業・事業所のシェア変動のうち、どの要因がマクロ、産業レベルの生産性変動に大きなインパクトをもたらしたかを調べるものである。業種によって結果は異なるもの、製造業では内部効果（既存企業の生産性上昇効果）の寄与が大きいことや、非製造業では2000年代に入って再配分効果（生産性の高い企業のシェア拡大効果）や純参入効果（生産性の高い企業の参入、および生産性の低い企業の退出による効果）が生産性の改善に寄与している業種がみられることが指摘できる。
グローバル化については、個々の事業所・企業の生産性変化、および生産性格差に注目した分析が行われており、生産性の低迷や製造業雇用の減少という面で、企業活動のグローバル化自体がその原因となったとはいえない、という結論を得ている。生産性については、グローバルな活動を行っている企業は、もともと生産性が高いだけでなく、ある条件のもとでは学習効果を通じて生産性を向上させており、グローバル化が競争を通じて産業全体の生産性向上に結び付いていないことが問題といえそうである。
こうした、これまでの研究成果を踏まえ、今後、必要とされる研究課題や、研究課題の分析にあたって必要とされるインフラ整備についても議論する。

R&D and patenting activities of foreign firms in China: The case of Japan

Yang C., Matsuura T., Ito T.

Japan and the World Economy (Japan and the World Economy)  49   151 - 160 2019.03

ISSN  09221425

　View Summary

© 2018 This study investigates the research and development (R&D) and patenting activities of foreign firms in China. Utilizing a panel dataset of Japanese affiliates during the period 2001–2007, we first examine the determinants of R&D activity and find that local market-oriented firms place more emphasis on R&D, whereas process export-oriented firms are less likely to conduct R&D. Affiliates within a large business group that has more affiliates have a higher propensity to undertake R&D. Using only firms with positive R&D expenditures, we next estimate the patent production function. Results indicate that the patent elasticity of R&D for Japanese affiliates is high, suggesting that they are more productive on patent production than other firms. Moreover, local market-oriented firms do need more patents to protect their products, whereas scientific firms demonstrate a lower willingness to register patents in China.

WHAT'S BEHIND THE FIGURES? QUANTIFYING THE CROSS-COUNTRY EXPORTER PRODUCTIVITY GAP

Kiyota K., Matsuura T., Nesta L.

Economic Inquiry (Economic Inquiry)  57 ( 3 ) 1256 - 1271 2019

ISSN  00952583

　View Summary

© 2019 Western Economic Association International We present a simple framework that allows us to examine the cross-country exporter productivity gap without accessing confidential firm-level data. This gap depends on the three readily available statistics: the productivity gap between two countries; the export participation rates; and export premia. This gap holds irrespective of the distribution underlying firm productivity and irrespective of the presence of fixed costs. Under specific conditions, allocative efficiency may affect the exporter productivity gap. The empirical analysis globally validates this exercise. (JEL F1, D24).
