For whom the bell tolls: The firm-level effects of automation on wage and gender inequality

This paper investigates the impact of investment in automation- and AI-related goods on within-firm wage inequality in the French economy during the 2002–2017 period. We document that most wage inequality in France is accounted for by differences among workers belonging to the same firm rather than by differences between sectors, firms, and occupations. Using an event-study approach on a sample of firms importing automation- and AI-related goods, we find that spike events related to the adoption of automation- and AI-related capital goods are not followed by an increase in within-firm wage inequality or in gender wage inequality. Instead, wages increase by 1% three years after the events at different percentiles of the distribution. Our findings are not linked to the rent-sharing behavior of firms obtaining productivity gains from automation and AI adoption. Instead, if wage gains do not differ across workers along the wage distribution, worker heterogeneity will still be present. Indeed, in agreement with the framework in Abowd et al. (1999b), most of the overall wage increase is due to the hiring of new employees. This adds to previous findings presenting a picture of a ‘labor friendly’ effect of the latest wave of new technologies within adopting firms.     

性别多样性对团队绩效和创造力影响的研究

旨在考察中国文化情境下性别多样性对团队绩效和创造力的直接影响以及团队工作年限的调节作用。本文以制药和电信企业的146个团队为样本,采用验证性因子分析、相关分析和多重线性回归分析等方法进行假设检验。实证研究结果表明:1) 性别多样性对团队绩效和创造力有正向的影响,2) 随着团队工作年限的增加性别多样性对团队创造力的正向影响减弱,而对团队绩效的影响没有显著变化。本文还通过补充调查233名在职员工和分析6个本科学生团队案例验证了个体由于性别本身的差别而产生性别角色、互动风格方面的互补性差异,以及异性间存在较少的社会比较行为,进一步支持了本文研究假设。研究结论不仅丰富了性别多样性的研究,而且也为组织管理实践提供启示。

战略性新兴产业创新转化效率及极化效应研究

选取我国战略性新兴产业的专利申请数和授权数作为创新产出指标,运用随机前沿分析方法研究其创新转化效率及极化效应。研究得出:我国专利申请导向的产业创新转化效率为0.864,而专利授权导向的创新转化效率仅为0.398;战略性新兴产业创新能力的区域极化效应呈现倒U型,四大板块区域内差异高于区域间差异,东部、中部、东北部三大板块战略性新兴产业创新能力存在收敛;七大产业间,新能源汽车产业创新能力的极化效应高于其他六大战略性新兴产业;四类专利申请主体中,高校和科研单位的创新极化效应减弱。     

Examining the moderating effect of inconsistent reviews and its gender differences on consumers’ online shopping decision

The prevalence of social media has provided consumers with many opportunities to post online reviews on a wide range of products on the Internet. In this study, we attempt to investigate the moderating effect of inconsistent reviews (i.e., a mix of positive and negative reviews) on consumers’ purchase decision. We further examine whether the effect will differ from female to male consumers.     

Effects of materialism on problematic smartphone dependency among adolescents: The role of gender and gratifications

We study youth materialism as an antecedent of problematic smartphone dependency among adolescents. Based on Uses and Gratifications theory and the I-PACE framework, we consider process- and social-oriented smartphones as mediators in the relationship between youth materialism and problematic smartphone dependency. Using data from 463 French late adolescents (mean 16.8 years; 58 % female), known as digital natives, we demonstrate that paths differ depending on gender. For girls, youth materialism is positively related to problematic smartphone dependency via social-oriented smartphone use, whereas this relationship is nonsignificant for boys. Moreover, youth materialism is positively related to problematic smartphone dependency via process-oriented smartphone use for both boys and girls, but the relationship is stronger for boys than for girls. We discuss the implications of these results for business and social policies.     

服务业集聚与区域经济差距:基于劳动生产率视角

本文采用物质资本集聚度、人力资本集聚度以及就业密度衡量服务业集聚水平,运用空间计量方法,从劳动生产率视角,研究了服务业集聚对区域经济差距的影响。结果显示:区域间劳动生产率的提高呈现明显的空间自相关性,物质资本集聚对地区劳动生产率影响显著,而人力资本集聚以及就业密度的作用尚不显著。总体上,本文验证了服务业集聚效应的存在,从而为从劳动生产率视角解释服务业集聚对区域经济差距的影响提供了分析思路。
