A note on testing for complementarity and substitutability in the case of multiple practices

M. Carree, Boris Lokshin & René Belderbos #2010-056 PDF

Recent empirical studies of firm-level performance have tested
complementarity in the case of multiple practices. These papers have
drawn conclusions using potentially biased estimates of pair-wise
interaction effects. We develop a consistent and simple testing
framework and test it against alternatives.
