Human capital helps small and medium-sized enterprises increase profitability, but the effect depends on the industry
Researchers from IDLab found out how uncertainty of the industry environment influences the relationship between human capital and return on sales of SMEs. Using data on Russian SMEs for 2013–2023 and hierarchical linear modeling, it was found that human capital is generally positively related to return on sales, however, the effect substantially depends on the industry. The work carried out by Maria Anatolyevna Molodchik and Anastasia Kireecheva within the project “Internationalization of Companies from Developing Countries: The Role of Intellectual Resources in Response to Exogenous Shocks”, has been accepted for publication in the Journal of the New Economic Association.
