摘要

随着世界经济格局日趋复杂,经济政策不确定性对企业的影响愈发不可忽视。加快企业数字化转型是推动高质量发展的重要举措,探究经济政策不确定性对于企业数字化转型的影响具有战略意义。本研究基于2010—2019年中国A股上市企业的数据,从实物期权理论探讨了经济政策不确定性对企业数字化转型的影响,并基于政府视角进一步构建了经济政策不确定性、数字基础设施政策和市场化进程的三项交互调节效应模型。研究结果表明:(1)经济政策不确定性能够促进企业数字化转型;(2)经济政策不确定性减弱了数字基础设施政策对企业数字化转型的促进效果;(3)推动市场化进程是应对经济政策不确定性对数字基础设施政策的负面影响的有效手段。本研究结合企业与政府双重视角,分析了宏观经济因素对企业数字化转型及其相关政策效果的多维影响,为相关研究提供了新的理论和政策分析视角。

Abstract

With the increasing complexity of the world economic landscape, the impact of economic policy uncertainty on enterprises is increasingly important. The acceleration of corporate digital transformation represents a significant strategic initiative, and it is of strategic significance to explore the impact of economic policy uncertainty on corporate digital transformation. Based on the data of China's A-share listed enterprises from 2010-2019, this study explored the impact of economic policy uncertainty on corporate digital transformation from real options theory, and further developed a three-way interaction model from a government perspective. The results of this study showed that: (1) economic policy uncertainty can promote corporate digital transformation; (2) economic policy uncertainty reduces the effect of digital infrastructure policies on promoting corporate digital transformation; and (3) promoting the marketisation process is an effective way to mitigate the negative impact of economic policy uncertainty on digital infrastructure policies. This study has combined the perspectives of enterprises and governments to analyze the multidimensional impact of macroeconomic factors on corporate digital transformation and its related promotion policies, thereby providing a new theoretical and policy perspective for related research.

We develop a new index of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) based on newspaper coverage frequency. Several types of evidence—including human readings of 12,000 newspaper articles—indicate that our index proxies for movements in policy-related economic uncertainty. Our U.S. index spikes near tight presidential elections, Gulf Wars I and II, the 9/11 attacks, the failure of Lehman Brothers, the 2011 debt ceiling dispute, and other major battles over fiscal policy. Using firm-level data, we find that policy uncertainty is associated with greater stock price volatility and reduced investment and employment in policy-sensitive sectors like defense, health care, finance, and infrastructure construction. At the macro level, innovations in policy uncertainty foreshadow declines in investment, output, and employment in the United States and, in a panel vector autoregressive setting, for 12 major economies. Extending our U.S. index back to 1900, EPU rose dramatically in the 1930s (from late 1931) and has drifted upward since the 1960s.

This research examines the relationship between policy uncertainty and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that policy uncertainty is negatively related to firm acquisitiveness and positively related to the time it takes to complete M&A deals. In addition, policy uncertainty motivates acquirers to use stock for payment and to pay lower bid premiums. Acquirers, on average, create larger shareholder value from M&A deals undertaken during periods of high policy uncertainty, which is attributable to their prudence as well as the wealth transfer from the financially constrained targets to acquirers.

This research examines the relation between government economic policy uncertainty and firm cash holdings. We find evidence that policy uncertainty is positively related to firm cash holdings due to firms' precautionary motives and, to a lesser extent, investment delays. The relation between policy uncertainty and cash holdings is more pronounced for firms dependent on government spending and extends beyond business cyclicality. Further analysis indicates that the effects of policy uncertainty on corporate cash holdings are distinct from those of political, market, or other macroeconomic uncertainty.

Public equity is an important source of risk capital, especially in China. The Chinese government has occasionally suspended IPOs, exposing firms already approved to IPO to indeterminate listing delays. The temporary bar on going public increases uncertainty about access to public markets for affected firms. We show that suspension-induced delay reduces corporate innovation activity both during the delay and for years after listing. Negative effects on tangible investment and positive effects on leverage are temporary, consistent with financial constraints during the suspensions being resolved after listing. Our results suggest that predictable, well-functioning IPO markets are important for firm value creation. They demonstrate that corporate innovation is cumulative and is negatively affected by policy uncertainty.

Rapid and pervasive digitization of innovation processes and outcomes has upended extant theories on innovation management by calling into question fundamental assumptions about the definitional boundaries for innovation, agency for innovation, and the relationship between innovation processes and outcomes. There is a critical need for novel theorizing on digital innovation management that does not rely on such assumptions and draws on the rich and rapidly emerging research on digital technologies. We offer suggestions for such theorizing in the form of four new theorizing logics, or elements, that are likely to be valuable in constructing more accurate explanations of innovation processes and outcomes in an increasingly digital world. These logics can open new avenues for researchers to contribute to this important area. Our suggestions in this paper, coupled with the six research notes included in the special issue on digital innovation management, seek to offer a broader foundation for reinventing innovation management research in a digital world.
