“…Along the vertical supply chain, higher incidence rates of backwards fast-growth firms seem to stimulate strong positive effects for non-fast-growth firms' productivity growth downwards, especially for small, old and hightech firms. The positive spillover effect of fast-growth incidence along supply chains echoes the recent evidence suggesting knowledge externalities between fast-growth suppliers and non-fast-growth customers (Isaksson, Simeth, & Seifert, 2016). In addition, we find a positive and significant moderating effect of agglomeration for the fast-productivity-growth backward externalities on non-fast-growth customers.…”

Small groups of fast-growth firms contribute disproportionately to job creation, yet little is known about their broader impact on the economy. This paper provides the first evidence of the agglomeration externalities of fast-growth firms, examining their economic impact on non-fast-growth firms operating within the same region (NUTS-2) and industry (SIC2), and through backward and forward linkages. Using comprehensive firm-level data on UK firms between 1997 and 2013, the analysis shows robust evidence of positive spillovers of fast-growth firms on the labour productivity of non-fast-growth firms in the same industry and region. However, the externalities in relation to the employment growth of non-fast-growth firms are negative, suggesting labour poaching and local competition effects.

“…However, while green R&D cooperation can have an immediate impact on unit carbon emissions reduction, it is likely to have a long-term effect of technological spillover, which refers to the diffusion of technology through technical exchanges or knowledge sharing between companies (Spenser, 2003;Ge et al, 2014). Technological spillover will have an impact on firms' R&D investment decisions and their ability to share other firms' innovations due to the spillover effect, which may damage firms' enthusiasm for R&D investment (Isaksson et al, 2016;. Adding to the complexity of the problem, firms often have different internal technological/operational capabilities (e.g.…”

In response to the global fight against climate change, a growing number of firms cooperate with their supply chain partners on green innovations. This study explores firms' green R&D cooperation behaviour in a two-echelon supply chain in which a manufacturer and a retailer first cooperate to invest green R&D and then organise production according to a wholesale price contract. Through a comparison with non-cooperation models, we evaluate the effects of green R&D cooperation on the economic, environmental and social performances of the supply chain while simultaneously considering the technological spillover and supply chain power relationship. Our findings show that the R&D cooperation's improvement of firms' economic performance is mainly determined by firms' own green contribution level. This level is dependent on firms' green R&D investment efficiency and spillover as well as on their relevant power relationship with their supply chain partners. Interestingly, there is a Pareto improvement region in which the green R&D cooperation has a positive impact on firms, customers and the environment. In the case of a non-Pareto improvement region, supply chain coordination can be achieved through a two-part tariff contract. This applies to all three of the supply chain power structures investigated in this research.

“…The effect of technological spillovers on the innovation decisions are as the following two aspects. On the one hand, due to the reduction of production cost, the firms need to develop their own technology to improve the research ability 8 ; on the other hand, the firms can be free to share the technology from the other firms’ innovation with the effect of spillovers, which may damage their enthusiasm of innovation 9 .…”

Decision and coordination of low-carbon supply chain considering technological spillover and environmental awareness

We focus on the impacts of technological spillovers and environmental awareness in a two-echelon supply chain with one-single supplier and one-single manufacturer to reduce carbon emission. In this supply chain, carbon abatement investment becomes one of key factors of cutting costs and improving profits, which is reducing production costs in the components and products—the investment from players in supply chain. On the basis of optimality theory, the centralized and decentralized models are respectively established to investigate the optimal decisions and profits. Further, setting the players’ profits of the decentralized scenario as the disagreement points, we propose a bargaining-coordination contract through revenue-cost sharing to enhance the performance. Finally, by theoretical comparison and numerical analysis, the results show that: (i) The optimal profits of players and supply chain improve as technological spillovers and environmental awareness increase, and the profits of them in the bargaining-coordination contract are higher than that in the decentralized scenario; (ii) Technological spillovers between the players amplify the impact of “free-ride” behavior, in which the supplier always incentives the manufacturer to improve carbon emission intensity, but the cooperation will achieves and the profits will improve only when technological spillovers and environmental awareness are great; (iii) The contract can effectively achieve coordinated supply chain, and improve carbon abatement investment.
