The peer contagion effects and firms' innovation: Evidence from China

Abstract: The existing researches on firms' innovation ignore the influence of peer firms; thus, this paper empirically examines the peer contagion effects of firms' innovation in China. The results indicate firms' innovation is significantly influenced by peers, and the macro‐marketization and meso‐industry competition promote the effects, whereas the micro firm managerial ability inhibits them. The study also finds the influence mechanism in breakthrough innovation and incremental innovation is different. Further prio… Show more

“…We follow an approach similar to Sharma and Mishra (2023) to depict the distribution of employment impact. The quantile technique helps gauge the impact of independent variables on the range of distribution of outcome variables (Powell & Wagner, 2014; Qin et al, 2023). We follow the method of moments‐based quantile regression technique that is suitable for panel estimations as well as take care of endogeneity issues (Machado & Silva, 2019; Rios‐Avilla, 2020).…”

“…Peer firms with similar R&D investment characteristics are likely to be emulated by their peer firms. Science and technology parks increase peers' R&D investment due to the competitive pressures (Qin et al, 2023; Xue & Zhao, 2021). Government supports enable government‐dependent firms to increase R&D investment while crowding out industry‐peer firm investment (Li, 2020; Ngo & Stanfield, 2022).…”
