ABSTRACT

This study investigates whether the economic freedom of a region drives firm performance. Despite the large number of papers about the relationship between economic freedom and growth, there is still little evidence on the role of economic freedom in the performance of individual firms. We address this gap in the literature using hierarchical linear modeling, allowing us to investigate regional differences in company-level performance. The dataset consists of information about 1,096 companies combined with the Index of Economic Freedom for Russian regions during the period 2004–2014.

企业绩效与区域经济自由：俄罗斯为例

摘要

这项研究调查了一个地区的经济自由度是否会驱动企业绩效。尽管有大量关于经济自由与增长之间关系的论文，但很少有证据表明经济自由在单个公司的绩效中的作用。我们使用分层线性建模来解决文献中的这一空白，从而使我们能够研究公司级绩效的区域差异。该数据集包含有关2004-2014年间俄罗斯地区经济自由指数的1,096家公司的信息。
