Abstract:
This study addresses the apparent puzzle that China made great progress in mobile phone manufacturing despite weak intellectual property protection. Using the China 2012 Enterprise Surveys Data set of World Bank enterprises survey, we investigated whether competition order mattered for innovation behaviors of enterprise and mainly drew three major conclusions. First, when there are unregistered or informal competitors in the market, enterprises tend to choose innovation to improve the current situation of their own operations, and they may increase the R&D investment.

The article examines the determinants of the costs incurred by employers while they fulfill the requirements of employment protection legislation. Using the World Bank Enterprise Surveys data from over 50,000 firms in 93 countries in 2005-2011 we verify that, ceteris paribus, these costs are higher for large, private, domestically owned firms in the manufacturing sector, as well as for those enterprises which are more covered by enforcement. With firm characteristics held constant, the costs of employment protection are significantly higher in more developed countries with stricter regulation

Abstract:
How does institutional quality affect firm performance? We examine the effect of various measures of institutions on firm productivity, using a rich micro level data on manufacturing enterprises in India drawn from the Enterprise Surveys of the World Bank. Our results suggest that bureaucratic corruption negatively influences firm productivity. In contrast, other institutional variables seem to have less influence on firm performance. This suggests that the focus of the Indian government needs to be redirected to address the corrupt practices at various levels rather than focusing just on impr

In the past two decades, considerable efforts have been made to promote small and medium enterprises as a catalyst for job creation in many countries, including South Africa. However, globally a growing body of evidence shows that only a small segment of small and medium enterprises in an economy accounts for 50 to 70% of net new jobs. Using the World Bank Enterprise Survey and logit and quantile regressions, this paper empirically explores the characteristics of high growthfirms in South Africa.

Cross-national surveys suggest that regulatory and policy uncertainty is an important constraint on investment in developing countries. Yet there has been little direct empirical investigation of the sources of this uncertainty. This article presents evidence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between firms’ perceptions of policy uncertainty and political regime type. Firms in hybrid regimes report higher levels of concern over policy uncertainty than those in either more authoritarian regimes or liberal established democracies.

Abstract The paper uses a consistent firm-level data from the World Banks Enterprise Surveys to explore the impact of financialisation in the economy on firms’ access to finance in 138 developing countries. Access to finance reflects survey-based firms’ perceptions of external financing constraints. Financialisation is proxied by consistent cross-country measures of financial depth. These proxies capture separately the role of bank-based versus market-based financing. Firm-, sector- and country-level information is jointly used for the analysis.

Abstract:
The study compares the impact of the commercial environment on external financing of female- owned micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) compared to those that are male owned in seven South Asian countries. The region exhibits weak institutional and regulatory regimes which result in expropriation of profits from MSMEs. It is likely that such commercial environments add to the risk of lending to MSMEs and this may further manifest a gender bias toward males. This study uses a unique dataset of over 5000 firms from World Bank Enterprise Surveys and combines this with additional information drawn from World Bank macro-economic data. Interval and logit regressions are used. Contrary other studies, this research indicates that once females have access to formal financing they use a higher proportion of formal financing in their firm capital structure than their male-counterparts. A gap in accessing external finance for female-owned MSMEs presents both a waste of human resource and a lost potential to lift standards of living, presenting an opportunity for reform.

Building upon prior research and using the data collected by the most recent World Bank Enterprise Survey, the author summarizes the main social skills demonstrated by Russian SMEs. The indicators published by the 2012 and 2019 Enterprise Survey are further supported by analysis of entrepreneurial “success stories” of entrepreneurs published by Russian web-based media. Social skills required to run a successful SME correspond to those identified from the Enterprise Survey data, and they are evenly distributed among skills comprising the “ways of thinking” and the “ways of working.” The chapter concludes with directions for future research and implications for practice.

Abstract:
This chapter provides basic understanding of firm performance in emerging markets by focusing on labor productivity and total factor productivity. In the study, labor productivity is measured in terms of average value added per worker. Total factor productivity is obtained from estimations of Cobb-Douglas production function where value added is a function of labor and capital. Data is obtained from the firm-level Enterprise Surveys by the World Bank. According to the results, differences in average labor productivities are significant among the sectors within each emerging region. Also, the value of factor elasticities changes across sectors as well as across regions. Moreover, the elasticity of capital is lower than the elasticity of labor for all sectors in regions. It implies that labor plays a more significant role and the firms are operating in a more labor-intensive production process in emerging markets.

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to show the effects of digitalization on the innovative capability of companies in Sub-Saharan Africa. To meet this objective, the authors used the World Bank data (Enterprise Survey) on survey of service companies and manufacturing industries in 2016. Making use of a binary probit model and a recursive bivariate probit model, they found that digitization has a significant effect on business innovation in Sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, they found that when a company has a website, its probability of introducing an innovation in to the market increases by 27% as compared to companies without a website. However, when a company has its own website, the probability to introduce an incremental innovation is 0.34 higher than radical innovation. Thus, they can recommend to entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa to invest not only in the digitalization of their companies but also and above all in research and development, which is a translational and inevitable determinant for radical innovation.

Abstract:
The study investigates whether the firms' characteristics, including ownership structure, audit, and familiarity affect tax evasion. The study has used the ordinary least square (OLS) to analyze cross-sectional data of 85 countries between 2007 and 2015 collected from the world enterprise survey. The study finds that the domestic, foreign, and government ownership in the firm increases tax evasion, whereas proprietorship and female ownership decreases the tax evasion. Further, the results show that familiar firms with international recognition are less inclined to evade tax. Similarly, the negative relationship between audit and tax evasion implies that the government should make it compulsory to check the financial statements of the firms by the external auditors, which, in turn, reduces the firms' tax evasion. Moreover, the firms that face more financial constraints evade more tax than the firms with access to the bank loan and solvent ones. The tax authorities should also consider reducing the corporate tax rate as the higher tax rates stimulate the firms to evade more tax.
