Coding for intangible competitive advantage - mapping the distribution and characteristics of software-developing firms in the Swedish economy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Software is at the core of digitalisation and is often claimed to play a central role in innovation and in shaping competition across industries and firms. There are yet few studies of the extent and nature of software development across firms. We employ a unique firm-level survey comprising 3,929 firms across Sweden to analyse the distribution and characteristics of firms that invest in software development and the orientation of their investments. The results confirm that software development activities are present in most industries, but heterogeneously distributed across firms. Internal software development is associated with innovation-oriented large firms in high-tech and knowledge-intensive industries, and is often affiliated with MNEs. The results suggest that software development is comparable to R&D investments and constitutes an example of digital innovation. This strengthens the value of studying software development activities to understand how firms invest in and build competitive advantage in the digitalised economy. © 2022 The Author(s).

Närhet och nätverk : Urbaniseringens roll utanför storstäderna
- 2017
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Urbaniseringen är inte bara begränsad till storstäderna och är inte ett nollsummespel där stad ställs mot landsbygd. Tvärtom kan både små och stora städer vara avgörande för den regionala utvecklingen och landsbygdens framtid. Urbanisering handlar nämligen inte om storstäder, utan om förtätning.

Social capital and the economics of cities

Ingår i: Handbook of Social Capital and Regional Development. - : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 9781783476824 - 9781783476831 ; , s. 166-192

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Social capital has often been conceived of as a set of theories more apt for the analysis of rural areas than for metropolitan cities. Yet cities are teeming with interaction and other network phenomena, analyzed in the urban economics literature on social interactions. In this chapter, we bridge these strands of theories by emphasizing link directness (depth of connections) and link thickness (frequency of interaction) as key characteristics for the analysis of social capital in urban and rural settings alike. We demonstrate how social capital and ‘network-of-network’ effects of thin links (abundant in cities) can strongly mimic effects of agglomeration economies. Our framework maintains that previous emphases on isolating the effects of agglomeration effects on economic outcomes should be complemented by an understanding of how effects of social capital pertain, for example, to attitudes to entrepreneurship and industriousness. We suggest that these effects may be understood through the following mechanisms: Peer effects and Learning, and Imitation and Emulation.

Software development and innovation : Exploring the software shift in innovation in Swedish firms
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Technological forecasting & social change. - : Elsevier Inc.. - 0040-1625 .- 1873-5509. ; 167

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A number of scholars and industry professionals have claimed that there has been a ‘software-biased shift’ in the nature and direction of innovation, in that software development is a core part of innovation activities in firms across a wide array of industries. Empirical firm-level evidence of such a shift is still scant. In this paper, we employ new and unique firm-level survey data on the frequency and nature of software development among firms in Sweden, matched with the Community Innovation Survey (CIS). We find robust evidence supporting a software bias in innovation, in that software development is associated with a higher likelihood of introducing innovations, as well as higher innovation sales among firms in both manufacturing and service industries. Furthermore, this positive relationship is stronger for firms that employ in-house software developers than for those that only use external developers, suggesting that there is a hierarchy but possibly also a complementarity between in-house and external software development. We also find support for complementarity between software-based technology and human capital; the estimated marginal effect of software development on innovation is particularly strong for firms that combine in-house software development with a highly educated workforce in both STEM and other disciplines. © 2021

Stora kunskapsintensiva investeringar : orsaker, verkan och den offentliga sektorns roll
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport presenterar en forskningsöversikt av stora kunskapsintensiva investeringar (SKI). Rapportens syfte är tudelat. För det första ska rapporten ge en kunskapsöversikt av orsaker och förutsättningar för SKI, samt potentiella positiva spridningseffekter till följd av SKI. För det andra ska rapporten sätta översikten i relation till vad forskningen säger kring den offentliga sektorns möjlighet att främja SKI samt vilka policyåtgärder som kan tänkas bidra till att realisera positiva spridningseffekter förknippade med SKI. Rapporten ska dessutom utveckla ett förslag på en empirisk tillämpning av definitionen, samt presentera en deskriptiv översikt av SKI i Sverige.

The economic microgeography of diversity and specialization externalities – firm-level evidence from Swedish cities
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Research Policy. - : Elsevier. - 0048-7333 .- 1873-7625. ; 48:6, s. 1385-1398
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We employ finely geo-coded firm-level panel data to assess the long-standing question whether agglomeration economies derive from specialization (within-industry), diversity (between-industry) or overall density. Rather than treating the city as a single unit, we focus our analysis on how the inner industry structures of cities influence firm-level productivity. Our results illustrate the co-existence of several externalities that differ in their spatial distribution and attenuation within cities. First, we find robust positive effects of neighborhood-level specialization on TFP as well as a small effect of diversity at the same fine spatial level. These effects are highly localized and dissipate beyond the immediate within-city neighborhood level. Second, we also find that firms benefit from the overall density of the wider city. The results emphasize the relevance of “opening up” cities to study the workings of their inner organization and support the idea that location in a within-city industry cluster in a diversified and dense city boosts productivity.
