Effects of the internet on firm productivity

Authors	Data	Methodology	Main results
Grimes et al. (2012)	6,060 firms in New Zealand	Ordered probit model	The internet improves firm productivity The effects are consistent in rural and urban areas and in high and low knowledge industries sectors
Bertschek and Niebel (2016)	2,143 German firms	Ordered probit model; and PSM	The mobile internet improves firm productivity The impacts are at the early stage of the internet implementation
Wang (2016)	2,848 China manufacturing firms	OLS estimation	The internet improves manufacturing firm productivity The impacts are weak in a labor-intensive industry
Bartelsman et al. (2019)	117,000 firm-year panel data	OLS estimation	The internet increases firm productivity except for one country Innovations are not related to productivity in the majority of countries
Colombo et al. (2013)	799 Italian firms	Principal component analyzes; and GMM	The internet does not increase firm productivity It depends on three contingent factors
Haller and Lyons (2015)	2,200 Irish manufacturing firms	Two-stage least squares	The internet does not affect firm productivity or productivity growth Only at specific application scenarios can the internet make an effect
Fabling and Grimes (2016)	New Zealand’s longitudinal business database	Instrument estimation	UFB does not affect employment and firm productivity growth The impacts are depending on investments in organizational capital
