Influencing public policymaking: Firm‐, industry‐, and country‐level determinants
利用全球数据库，系统分析企业、行业和国家层面因素如何影响企业对公共政策的影响力，发现大企业影响力更大，但受行业竞争者和政治制度环境调节。
This paper examines the determinants of firms' public policymaking influence. Using a novel and global database that measures firms' perceived influence over the executive and legislative branches of government, a systematic analysis of the firm‐, industry‐, and country‐level determinants, and interrelationships among these determinants of firms' public policymaking influence is undertaken. The empirical results indicate that large firms perceive they have more public policymaking influence than small firms, but these differences are conditioned by the number of industry competitors and the structure of the country political institution environment. Nonmarket strategy implications that follow from this refined understanding are developed and discussed . Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
