Who uses intermediaries in international trade? Evidence from firm-level survey data

2011

The present paper uses data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey conducted in Turkey in 2005 to shed light on the firms which use intermediaries in international trade. It lends robust empirical support to recent theories which suggest that indirect exporters are mostly small firms which are not profitable enough to cover the high fixed costs of building their own distribution network abroad. Manufacturers which introduce entirely new products to foreign markets are more likely to use trade intermediaries, as are firms which produce low quality goods. In contrast, neither foreign ownership nor credit constraints are correlated with the choice of export mode. Moreover, firms which rely on t…

Entry mode choice in the internationalisation of the hotel industry: a holistic approach

2011

This paper empirically investigates the entry mode choice in the hotel industry. Based on more than 1200 entry decisions, which covers practically all operations carried out by the majority of Spanish hotel chains up to 2009, the study attempts to (a) identify the factors that influence the mode choice of incorporating each new hotel within the chain and (b) to reflect the specific nature of the hotel industry with regard to the results obtained from samples of other industries. The results suggest the importance of considering a holistic approach that facilitates the understanding of a complex phenomenon which is not always explained just by efficiency considerations. Additionally, the res…

Service Regulations, Input Prices and Export Volumes: Evidence from a Panel of Manufacturing Firms

2017

Using a panel of firm‐level data from Spanish manufacturers, this study shows that better service regulation reduces the price of intermediate inputs paid by downstream firms. The beneficial cost effects of services reforms extend to both large and small‐to‐medium sized corporations (SME’s), but the former tend to enjoy greater gains. This feature also manifests itself in international markets. We find evidence of an input cost channel through which service regulations affect the volume of exports of large manufacturers, while the evidence of such a channel is weaker for SME’s. Our estimates indicate that, from 1991 to 2007, large firms increased their volume of exports by an average of 20 …

L’actionnariat des salariés influencet-il la rémunération des dirigeants ?

2017

International audience; Cet article étudie la relation entre les composantes variables de la rémunération en actions de l’entreprise des dirigeants et des actionnaires salariés. En utilisant un échantillon de données issu du SBF 120 sur la période 2004-2009, nous étudions en particulier : (i) la relation entre le montant des stock-options attribuées aux dirigeants et l’actionnariat salarié ; (ii) la relation entre le rapport du montant des stock-options sur la rémunération totale des dirigeants et l’actionnariat salarié. La relation est significativement négative dans les deux cas montrant que l’actionnariat salarié tend à limiter la composante stok-options de la rémunération des dirigeants…

Les motivations des administrateurs des coopératives : une question de gouvernance revisitée par les approches de la proximité

2016

National audience; Comprendre les motivations des acteurs de gouvernance peut contribuer à favoriser la réussite et la pérennité de l’entreprise. L’article s’intéresse aux motivations des administrateurs pour mieux appréhender ce qui les incite à exercer pleinement leur rôle et à s’impliquer pour contribuer à l’atteinte des objectifs de la société. L’étude porte sur un type spécifique d’organisation, les coopératives, dont l’engagement des membres est souvent cité comme particulièrement fort. Les approches de la proximité sont mobilisées pour analyser les quatre principales motivations identifiées chez les administrateurs des coopératives : l’envie d’accroître leurs compétences, celle de dé…
