摘要
Whether and how the design and enforcement of laws exerts profound influence on innovation activities has been the central subject of study in a wide spectrum of disciplines. This paper examines the role of social insurance law in inducing innovation incentives. We consider a simple model where R&D employees transfer knowledge from SOEs to privately-owned enterprises by job hopping, and argue that mandatory social insurance contributions may implicitly decrease the mobility of R&D employees, which incentivizes SOEs to invest more in R&D and produce more patents. In order to test this theory, we use the data of nonfinancial listed firms over 2007-2017 and a quasi-natural experiment based on the enactment of China’s Social Insurance Law in 2011. The empirical results are consistent with the predictions of our model.
