혁신형 중소기업에 대한 정부의 행정규제 개선 정책 효과 실증 연구: 기술규제를 중심으로

The government’s regulatory policies serve as an important environmental factor in the firm’s innovation activities. This study argues that the government’s policy of improving regulations, which is closely related to an firm’s innovation activities, should also consider the extent to which different regulatory impacts are dependent on the characteristics of the firm in order to work as intended by the government and produce optimal results. Therefore, a double mediation effect analysis is performed that takes into account the extent of the impact of innovation activities on the laws and regulations of the firm and the effects of the government’s policy on improving regulations. The analysis showed that the double mediation effect had a partial mediation effect that improved the performance of companies belonging to a group of firms carrying out high levels of innovation activities by about 3.4%. It is noteworthy that the analysis, which sets only the government’s regulatory improvement policy as parameters, will have a lower effect on firm performance. However, the analysis of this study shows that the government’s policy to improve regulations has served as a positive effect for firms that are actually benefiting.
