“…Additionally, we 43 find that the positive effect of QFII ownership exists but relies on the presence of mutual funds. Consistent with Bena et al (2015) and Luong et al (2014), it suggests that it is beneficial to encourage QFIIs' entry to Chinese stock market. Meanwhile, to magnify their positive effect on innovation, more work should be done to induce QFIIs in China, whose shareholdings only account for a tiny proportion at the current stage, to invest in those firms with the presence of mutual funds.…”

“…With 18 rich experiences and financial prudence, these foreign institutions are supposed to enhance corporate governance in China, which has lagged behind the international standard. Moreover, cross-country studies have documented that foreign institutional investors enhance firm innovation (e.g., Bena et al, 2015;Luong et al, 2014).…”

“…A number of influential research studies have found that investors with higher human capital play a crucial role in facilitating the technology adoption (Nelson and Phelps 1966;Romer 1990;Benhabib and Spiegel 1994;Luong et al 2014;Bena et al 2016). However, different sectors may utilize these two growth ingredients to a different degree.…”

By exploiting a large dataset that covers internationally comparable sectoral information, we prove that the manufacturing sector is imbued with three important characteristics. First, for middle-income economies, manufacturing pulls along services, instead of the other way around. A decline in the manufacturing sector growth rate will negatively affect the growth rate of the services sector, in both the short-run and long-run meanings. Second, we show that manufacturing development not only promotes the incentives of savings, but also accelerates the pace of technological accumulation. Third, an increased share of the manufacturing sector in middle-income economies can enhance the utilization of human capital and economic institutions. Our empirical findings indicate that the manufacturing sector is still the key engine of economic growth for middle-income economies.

“…Since that study, many automated alternatives, using approximate string matching algorithms, have been suggested. Recent examples include Bena et al (2017) and Tarasconi and Menon (2017). The general term for these approximate methods is probabilistic record linkage, which was first proposed in the seminal work by Fellegi and Sunter (1969).…”

Summary The digital economy is a highly relevant item on the European Union's policy agenda. We focus on cross‐border Internet purchases, as part of the digital economy, the total value of which cannot be accurately estimated by using existing consumer survey approaches. In fact, they lead to a serious underestimation. To obtain an accurate estimate, we propose a three‐step data‐driven approach based on supply‐side data. For the first step, we develop a data‐driven generic method for firm level probabilistic record linkage of tax data and business registers. In the second step, we use machine learning to identify webshops based on website data. Then, in the third step, we implement recently developed bias correction techniques that have hitherto been overlooked by the machine learning community. Subsequently, we claim that our three‐step approach can be applied to any European Union member state, leading to more accurate estimates of cross‐border Internet purchases than those obtained by currently existing approaches. To justify the claim, we apply our approach to the Netherlands for the year 2016 and find an estimate that is six times as high as current estimates, having a standard deviation of 8%. Hence, we may conclude that our new approach deserves more investigation and applications.
