报告题目: Finance, R&D Investment, and TFP Dynamics(Job market Paper)

摘要:This paper investigates the role of R&D investment in shaping the relationship between financial constraints and aggregate total factor productivity (TFP). I study a dynamic model in which R&D investment, which affects productivity evolution endogenously, is subject to financial constraints. I parameterize the model with production, innovation, and balance sheet data. The estimated model implies sizeable static TFP losses caused by capital misallocation and dynamic TFP losses from distorting R&D investment. The effect of R&D on productivity persists over time, causing the dynamic TFP loss to rise, initially. Over time, the accumulation of internal funds reduces both static and dynamic TFP losses, but innovation incentives undermine the efficacy of self-financing for reducing TFP losses and prolong the transition. Financial reform shows up as larger wedges of efficiency and output, and a credit crunch has a more long-lasting consequence when I consider endogenous productivity growth. Improving the pledgeability of intangible assets in China to be as it is in the US will reduce static TFP loss by 0.4% and dynamic TFP loss by 7.1%.
