“…• Firm characteristics. Heavy regulatory restrictions have prevented firms from becoming more productive in SAR (Cirera and Cusolito 2019;Kanwar and Sperlich 2019). Complicated tax systems, labor regulations, and licensing requirements have been factors containing the productivity of smaller firms and have encouraged widespread informality.…”

Productivity growth is the key driver of sustainable income growth and poverty reduction. Its effects on human welfare are enormous. While economists agree on the importance of productivity, its measurement and drivers remain elusive. We sometime refer to productivity as a "residual" or even as a "measure of our ignorance." This important book analyzes the trends and drivers of productivity growth, with a special focus on emerging and developing countries. It uses state-ofthe-art econometric techniques and brings together the analysis of a wide range of productivity drivers which, so far, have been analyzed in isolation. It also discusses the impact of COVID-19 on productivity growth. Reading this book will help in reducing our ignorance on the most important driver of human well-being.

“…In developing countries such as India where innovation and intellectual property is less established (Kanwar and Sperlich, 2020), unchecked imitation reduces inter-FP heterogeneity. Hence, the emergence and perceptual presence of SIP should therefore encourage more and better innovation in India, reduce imitation, exit the status quo competitive environment and increase FP heterogeneity.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to understand the strategic roles of service customer equity (SCE) and innovation protection on firm performance (FP).Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed model. The authors tested the model using managerial data from two countries: USA and India.FindingsThe findings of this study indicated positive direct impacts of service innovation (SI) on FP and positive indirect impacts via SCE in both samples. SI and SCE impacts on FP were both stronger in the US samples. However, the effect of SI on SCE is stronger in India than in the USA. This study also identified moderating impacts of service innovation protection (SIP) on the relationship between SI and FP in the Indian sample and between SI and SCE in the US sample.Originality/valueAlthough there is scholarly research in SI and its impact on FP, there are no studies the authors identified that discuss the moderating effect of SIP. The authors studied the moderating effect of SIP because (1) it is crucial for industries to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, (2) it protects industries investment in research and development and (3) it also protects industries intellectual property, such as trademark, copyrights and patents. There are two key contributions of this study: (a) investigating the effect of SCE between SI and FP and (b) investigating the moderating effect of SIP using managerial data from two countries (USA vs India).

“…Firms that are interested in maximizing the economic value of intellectual assets need to implement more efficient organizational structures able to engage high skilled employees in a generalized activity of process and product innovation [21]. There is a positive relationship between the ability of a firm to implement intellectual property rights and the ability of the firm to promote significant technological innovation at the frontier, even this relationship also depends on the know-how at a firm level [22]. Intellectual capital can improve the innovation performance in SMEs [23].…”
