This paper studies whether the investment intensity of R&D expenses of listed companies can improve the profitability of enterprises. The data indicators of listed companies from 2015 to 2017 are obtained by using CSMAR database. R&D investment is divided into two indicators: relative number index and absolute number index, and regression analysis is carried out by establishing the econometric analysis model of profitability and absolute number index and relative number index of R&D investment. It is found that the intensity of R&D investment has a positive effect on the profitability of enterprises. Therefore, enterprises can improve their profitability through technological innovation and increasing R&D investment.

Innovation plays an increasingly important role in economic growth, and R&D investment has become a key component of innovation initiatives. In this study, we performed analyses of 58 listed automobile manufacturers and 52 listed Internet companies in China. The empirical analysis is carried out by using STATA15.0 to preliminarily explore the mechanism of the time-lag effect of R&D investment on the value of these companies over the years of time-lag as well as conduct comparison analyses across industries. The results show that R&D investment has a positive effect on corporate value and this effect has a long-term time-lag effect. The mechanism of time-lag effect of R&D investment on the corporate value over the lag years has significant differences across industries. The time-lag effect of R&D investment on the value of the listed automobile manufacturer presents an inverted U shape, while the time-lag effect of R&D investment on the value of the listed Internet companies decreases gradually. The study helps local government better understand the different mechanisms of the time-lag effect of R&D investment on the value of the listed companies and also serves as a reference for local government to make decisions on subsidies and other supportive policies for innovation initiatives of the listed companies.

Based on the characteristics of the e-commerce industry, this paper proposes the conception of operating intensity and explores the relationships between R&D intensity, operating intensity and firms’ performance. Multiple regression analysis approach is adopted based on the unbalanced panel dataset of global e-commerce listed companies in 49 countries in 2001-2015. Our findings suggest that suitable R&D intensity contributes positively to e-commerce firms’ performance, and with a lag. Operating intensity contributes an inverted U shape to e-commerce firms’ performance. We also find that interaction between R&D and operating intensity’s effects on firms’ performance is positively significant in global samples. In Group 7 sample, R&D intensity contributes positively to e-commerce firms’ performance, but BRICS sample’s is negative. Operating intensity contributes positively to firms’ performance both in Group 7 sample and BRICS sample. Marginal utility of operating intensity on firms’ performance in Group 7 sample is bigger than in BRICS. The results imply that R&D investment of e-commerce listed companies in BRIC countries has not converted to benefit, however it drags down the firms’ performance.

This paper selects the data of listed companies on the small and medium board from 2011 to 2018 as a sample, and uses multiple regression analysis to study the impact of the development of digital finance on the level of corporate R&D investment. The research results show that: the higher the degree of digital finance development, the higher the level of R&D investment of enterprises. The article further analyzes the differences in the degree of influence of the three different dimensions of digital finance on the level of R&D investment of enterprises: Among them, the coverage of digital finance has the most significant positive effect on the level of R&D investment, followed by the depth of usage, and the degree of digitization. Based on the research conclusions, this article puts forward suggestions for enhancing corporate innovation capabilities from three perspectives: actively using new financing methods, accurately grasping the impact of digital finance, and categorizing policies to enhance policy pertinence.

We empirically test whether B Corp certification affects the short- and medium-term growth rates of sustainable enterprises. These businesses are growing in popularity and prevalence but, due to their hybrid nature, often suffer from external credibility issues and competing internal logics. Because of the rigorous and time-involving audit procedure, B Corp certification potentially sends a credible signal about the sustainable nature of the enterprise to its stakeholders. In addition, the B Corp label could help to straighten out internal tensions and align the company towards its dual purpose. Hence, B Corp certification could contribute to company success. We observe 129 firms that were certified between 2013 and 2018 over a period between six years prior and five years post-certification. Using propensity score matching, we identify 129 non-certified matching companies. On this sample, we conduct a difference-in-differences panel regression analysis to investigate the effect of certification. Our dataset allows us to study how the effects of B Corp certification evolve over time, which was previously untested. Our study documents a positive effect of B Corp certification on turnover growth and also that this effect increases with the time since certification, implying that certification requires some time for its full effect to become apparent.
