This paper empirically explores several of these effects using two rich data sets. An overall indicator of public procurement quality is created from the World Bank’s Benchmarking Public Procurement project that is then combined with firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys. The analysis includes more than 59,000 firms spanning more than 109 economies. The paper finds that firms in economies with good public procurement systems are more likely to participate in public procurement, face lower losses from shipping to domestic markets, and experience lower incidence of bribery than economies with poor public procurement systems. Similarly, better public procurement systems are positively correlated with more engagement in innovation, research and development, international certification, foreign technology adoption, and online connectivity. 2018-09-13T21:05:14Z 2018-09-13T21:05:14Z 2018-09 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/584061536161746607/Public-Procurement-and-the-Private-Business-Sector-Evidence-from-Firm-Level-Data http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30420 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8575 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper
