“…Two possible explanations for this finding are that: (1) a high concentration industrial market provides a low incentive for firms to be more productive, as the market leader tends to operate in very efficient large-scale production, and (2) the market leader can steal the market share of other firms, pushing them to be less efficient and even forcing them out of the market. These findings are similar with [6,12,13,26].…”

This study investigates the impact of firm size and market concentration on firm productivity in Indonesian manufacturing. Firm size has been enduring interest in studies on firm productivity as the impact can be positive or negative. On the other hand, market concentration has increasingly been a key concern in evaluating firm productivity. This study used firm-level panel data of 6,783 manufacturing firms (47,481 observations) across 33 provinces of Indonesia. Two methods were applied in estimating the data; those methods were adjusted-autocorrelation OLS and random effect GLS. The results show that firm size has a significant positive effect on firm productivity, indicating that a large-scale firm experiences higher productivity than a small size firm. In addition, market concentration appears to have a negative impact on firm productivity, suggesting that a firm in a more concentrated industry tends to be less productive. The implication of this study suggests that a firm produces on a large scale and competes in a less concentrated market.

Poison or catalyst? How do energy saving targets matter for firm-level productivity in China

China’s Top-10000 Enterprises Energy Conservation and Low Carbon Program, enacted in 2011, sets binding energy saving targets for enterprises. However, whether energy saving target setting is a poison or a catalyst remains controversial, and no research has been conducted on how the targets affect enterprises’ total factor productivity. We construct 2012–2013 panel data models by mapping the enterprises subject to the energy saving targets onto the China Industrial Enterprise Database to systematically quantify the effects of the targets on enterprises’ total factor productivity. The study reveals an inverted-U-shaped curve between energy saving targets and manufacturers’ total factor productivity. We also find that the targets boost an enterprise’s total factor productivity by expanding the enterprise’s market share and their impacts vary according to region, type of enterprise, and industry. The study shows that setting appropriate energy saving targets can improve the environment and boost enterprise productivity.
