Service Regulation and Growth: Evidence from OECD Countries
研究了反竞争的服务监管对下游制造业的影响，发现监管较少的国家中，密集使用服务的制造业在增加值、生产率和出口方面增长更快。
We study the effects of anti-competitive service regulation by examining whether OECD countries with less anti-competitive regulation see a better economic performance of manufacturing industries using less-regulated services more intensively. Our results indicate that lower service regulation translates into faster value added, productivity, and export growth of downstream service-intensive industries. The negative growth-effect of anti-competitive regulation is particularly relevant in the case of professional services and energy provision. Our estimates prove robust to accounting for alternative forms of regulation (such as product and labor market regulation), for the degree of financial development and also to a number of other specification checks.
