Riassunto analitico
Dosi et al. (2012, 2019) observe a “neo-dualistic” tendency in the Italian manufacturing industry, involving the co-existence of a small group of dynamic firms with a bigger ensemble of much less technologically progressive ones. In this thesis, we explore the role of size-related economies of scale as determinants of productive efficiency and innovation. Are larger firms more productive? Do they exhibit higher productivity growth rates? And are they more
willing to innovate? We exploit the Orbis dataset (BvD) to study the heterogeneity of firm characteristics, scale advantages and industrial dynamics in 8 years of cross-sections.
Expanding the analysis at the sectoral level, significant heterogeneity in the degree
of scale advantages between sectors emerges. We try to capture such differences
by studying the influence of technological regimes and market concentration on the
comparative advantages of large firms for innovation. Furthermore, we explore the
determinants of industrial structures providing evidence that is in tune with an
evolutionary interpretation of the dynamics of industrial structures and their cross-sectional
variety. Industrial concentration is interpreted as the joint outcome of
industry-specific technological opportunities and economies of scale, with the former
that drives differential competitive advantages, while the latter much less.
