The long-term effect of digital innovation on bank performance: An empirical study of SWIFT adoption in financial services (2017, unknown): “A case in point would be Gust and Marquez (2004) who analyse data from 13 OECD countries between 1993 and2000 and find that ICT expenditure in this period is associated with higher productivity growth.”
Innovation across Europe: how important are institutional differences? (2011, result): “This finding is consistent with the view that rigidities in the labor market regulation hinder innovation (e.g. Menezes-Filho et al., 1998; Gust and Marquez, 2004; Koeninger, 2005; Samaniego, 2006, 2008; Alesina and Zeira, 2006).”
Market Services Productivity Across Europe and the US (2007, unknown): “Conway et al. (2006) and Gust and Marquez (2004) suggest that part of these cross-country differences in ICT investment are due to the impact of different regulatory environments, in particular regulations affecting product and labor markets.”
Trends of productivity growth in the construction industry across Europe, US and Japan (2011, background): “Moreover, Gust and Marquez (2004) found that ICT use was a key driver of productivity growth in the US during the 1990s, as opposed to other industrialized countries which lagged behind in terms of their adoption of ICT.”
EU Productivity and Competitiveness: An Industry Perspective Can Europe Resume the Catching-up Process? (2003, methodology): “Using the same OECD measures of EPL but different measures of PMR for 13 industrial countries, 1992-99, Gust and Marquez (2002) also find that ICT adoption and productivity growth are significantly negatively associated with restrictive regulatory practices.”
