Abstract:
In recent years, firms have ever increasingly used new digital technologies (e.g., cloud computing, social media, and big data analytics), which massively interact with humans within organizations. How the usage of new digital technologies has changed the role of R&D labor in firms' innovation production is far from clear. In this work, we investigate how firms use different types of digital technologies in their production for innovation, and how these digital technologies interact with innovation inputs (i.e., R&D capital and labor). By using recent micro data from 2609 German firms, we show that firms’ level of digital technology use does not have direct effects on a firm’s gross innovation output. Instead, the usage of digital technologies — specifically, enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), cloud computing, social media, and big data analytics — are either complementary or substitutable to R&D inputs by augmenting or reducing their elasticity. Our results are robust after controlling for complementarity/substitutability between the R&D inputs, endogeneity in digital technology use, selection bias in innovation production, constant returns to scale, potential multicollinearity between R&D inputs, and different measures of digital technologies.
