abstract = {We implement an endogeneous switching-regression model for labour productivity
and firms' decision to use business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce.
Our approach allows B2B usage to affect any parameter of the labour productivity
equation and to properly take account of strategic complementarities
between the input factors and B2B usage. Empirical evidence from 1,394 German
firms shows that firms using B2B e-commerce have a significantly higher
output elasticity with respect to ICT-investment and produce significantly
more efficiently than firms that do not use B2B. Firms' labour productivity
is enhanced by using B2B.},
