   abstract = {Theoretical models suggest that standardisation activities in the market may be too high or too low with respect to the market optimum. This paper investigates the association of standardisation engagement with firms'performance as indirect evidence of a sub-optimal level of market standardisation activities. Anecdotal evidence has it that firms can benefit from engagement in standardisation activities, but large quantitative studies on this topic are rather scarce. Based on a large innovation survey, this paper implements matching models to compare outcomes of firms with similar features but different standardisation activities. The outcomes of interest are several measures of innovation and growth. Standardisers and non-standardisers are matched onto a rich set of control variables. Firms engaged in standardisation have better innovation performance than firms with no such activities. However, the results for the performance measures are rather mixed, showing no association or negative association with labour productivity measures. Heteroscedasticity-based instruments mitigate possible endogeneity issues. These results can be interpreted as indirect evidence of low standardisation activity in the market, possibly due to long payback periods and appropriability issues of the standardisation investment.},

   title = {Luring European SMEs into ICT Standardization–Problems, Issues, and a Potential Way Forward},
   journal = {IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management},
   year = {2022},
   pages = {1-12},
   abstract = {Common standards are essential for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Several studies suggest that (almost) all standardization working groups (WGs) are dominated by large firms and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and are typically marginalized. However, SMEs account for around 99\% of all enterprises in the EU; their active participation in the standardization process would thus be crucial to develop ICT standards that meet the needs of the vast majority of their users. This article first discusses the current situation of SMEs in ICT standardization and the associated issues. Second, it conducts an econometric analysis to investigate the drivers of the use of ICT standards and engagement in ICT standardization based on a large and representative survey from Luxembourg. Regardless of their size, firms that actually and consciously deploy ICT standards in their core business are much more prepared to participate in standards-setting actively than those that do not. The article also proposes a way to exploit this correlation. The resulting implications for standards-setting organizations and policymakers are discussedn.},
