Sector Theory

We present the comparative analysis of the impact of centralized and decentralized corruption for private sector. Theory and empirical evidence point out to a “double jeopardy” of decentralized corruption which increases the burden of corruption upon private firms and weakens the incentives of bureaucracy to provide public production inputs, such as infrastructure. These outcomes are produced by simultaneous free-riding and the tragedy of the commons effects. The empirical part of the paper utilizes data of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance project.

The Impact

This paper aims to investigate the impact of internationalization on manufacturing enterprise performance in Ecuador. Using a panel data of 90 enterprises in Ecuador over the year 2003, 2006, 2010, and 2017 collected by the Worldbank Enterprises Survey project, with the Random Effects Model (REM) and the Fixed Effects Model (FEM), the regression result shows that the degree of internationalization (DOI) has a non-linear impact on firm performance under the inverse S-shaped curve. Besides that, the factors related to the business environment, such as bribery, access to finance, and skilled laborers' barriers, also negatively impact these firms' performance. The study's implication provides not only for firms but also for policymakers to support Ecuador businesses in the process of internationalization.

The Impact

This paper examines the impact of authority delegations, both licence and non-licence, from the district mayor to the Department of Investment and One-Stop Service (OSS) in the local government on Indonesia's economic performance. This authority delegation may simplify the regulation in doing business in Indonesia and create a more favorable business environment required to promote economic performance. However, this paper finds that the authority delegation has no significant impact on economic performance. A plausible underlying argument is that there are some constraints in the implementation, such as a lack of skilled personnel and weak internal governance, which impede the efforts to simplify the business regulation setting. Also, in terms of the cultural aspect, there are risk aversion behavior and a flawed perspective on entrepreneurial activities in Indonesian society, which may flourish the informal sectors with low productivity and technology, hampering the effectiveness of such reform in boosting economic performance.

The Impact

The country’s ability to compete for financial and investment resources in the international arena depends on a number of factors that determine the favorable business environment, the level of protection of citizens’ rights, and the material well-being of the population. One of the indicators of the quality of the economic environment in the country is the level of tax competitiveness, as an integrated indicator that summarizes the indicators of the effectiveness of the tax system and the quality of tax policy. The article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the generalization of the main theories of formation and development of tax competitiveness of the country. The main purpose of the article is a comparative analysis of theories of tax competitiveness, determining the nature of the impact of tax competitiveness on indicators of economic and social development of the country. The methodological tools of the study are analytical and comparative methods, methods of generalization and synthesis. The object of research is the theory of the formation of tax competitiveness of the country. Based on the results of the analysis, a conclusion about the dual nature of the impact of tax competition on the country’s development indicators is made. Thus, tax competition reduces the level of taxation in countries, which negatively affects the amount of tax revenues and reduces the country’s potential to finance socio-economic development programs, stimulates the growth of labor migration and relocation of tax bases in jurisdictions with more attractive tax conditions. On the other hand, tax competition stimulates economic growth in the leading countries by increasing their investment attractiveness, business activity, stimulating certain sectors of the economy. The results of the study can be useful for public authorities in making decisions on identifying key vectors of public tax policy in the country.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine how corruption affects the prevalence of product and process innovation by firms.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses firm-level data from the 2012–2016 Business Environment Enterprise Performance Surveys and utilizes a conditional mixed process model to address endogeneity concerns, taking bribery as a measure of corruption.FindingsThe study shows that measures of bribery are positively and robustly associated with innovation but mainly for firms reporting many competitors. The results are stronger for firms reporting more obstacles. Both findings support the inference that bribes facilitate innovation by allowing firms to evade regulatory obstacles.Originality/valueThe current research on corruption's effect on innovation restricts the association to be uniform across the sample, but this study shows that the impact depends on the degree of competition faced by a firm. In addition, the data used in this study cover 30 economies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and thus contributes to determining the effects of anticorruption practices in emerging countries.

Subject. The article presents various definitions of the efficiency concept, their changes as the economic science evolves, and describes various methods to measure company performance efficiency, ranging from a simple set of financial indicators to comprehensive systems for effectiveness evaluation. Objectives. The purpose of the study is to systematize the said definitions and identify a category that will meet the current condition of business environment. Methods. The study rests on the retrospective and comparative analysis of interpretations of the efficiency concept in the economic science. We also employ the historical and logical methods of general theoretical research. Results. We identify three approaches to the interpretation of the efficiency concept. Within the selected approaches, we consider the main methods for company performance measurement that have emerged since 1914. The paper formulates criteria, which were used to carry out the comparative analysis of these methods. The analysis enabled to trace all changes in the methods. Conclusions. We propose to use the term Integrated Company Efficiency and to develop methodological framework for measuring the comprehensive efficiency of companies operating in various industries.

Subject. To achieve a high level of economic security is a key priority of national development. Employment reveals one of the most important aspects of social development of the individual that is associated with his or her needs satisfaction in the sphere of employment and is boon to economic security. Objectives. The purpose of the study is to show the impact of unemployment on economic security in employment. Methods. I apply such scientific methods as dialectical, historical and logical unity, structural and functional analysis, traditional techniques of economic analysis and synthesis. The methods of multivariate statistical and comparative analysis serve as a methodological basis of the study. To determine the indicator of unemployment, I use the band theory. Results. I underpin the growing role of employment in ensuring economic security. The paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the unemployment status and a comparative analysis of the indicator in the Republic of Mordovia, the Volga Federal District, and the Russian Federation as a whole. I identify trends in the average duration of unemployment, show the distribution of unemployed by level of education and age groups. Conclusions. The average annual unemployment rate in the Republic of Mordovia is lower than in Russia and the Volga Federal District. The findings may be useful for public authorities to substantiate their employment policy at both macro- and meso-levels, for designing programs and strategies for socio-economic development of regions and the social security doctrine, as well as in practical activities of employment services.
