时间：6月20日（周一）下午2：00-3：30 地点：人大明德主楼734会议室 主讲：蔡婧（密歇根大学经济系助理教授） 主题：Interfirm Relationships and Business Performance（企业间关系与经营绩效） 摘要：We organize regular business meetings for randomly selected managers of young Chinese firms to study the effect of business networks on firm performance. We randomize 2,800 managers into several groups that hold monthly meetings, and a “no-meetings” control group. We survey all firms before and after the one-year intervention. We find that: (1) The meetings increase firm sales by 7.7 percentage points, and also increase profits, employment, productivity, and the number of business partners. (2) Firms randomized into groups with larger peer firms exhibit higher growth. (3) The meetings help diffuse randomly distributed business-relevant information. (4) Managers create more business partnerships with, and exhibit higher trust towards, those they meet every month than those they meet at one-time cross group meetings. Experimenter demand effects and other omitted variables are unlikely to explain all the results. We discuss policy implications for business associations in developing countries. 演讲者简介：蔡婧，美国加州大学伯克利分校博士，现任密歇根大学经济系助理教授。研究领域包括发展经济学、家庭金融和中国经济。在American Economic Journal: Applied Economics、American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics、 American Economic Journal: Economic Policy等国际一流或知名经济学期刊发表论文多篇。任NBER研究员，是Quarterly Journal of Economics, Econometrica, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, Economic Development and Cultural Change, Journal of Development Economics, Journal of Finance, Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Journal of Risk and Insurance, Management Science, World Bank Economic Review的匿名审稿人。
