The values added along industry value chains reveal the industry’s structural changes. The present study utilizes the measure of firms’ intangible assets to proxy for firms’ values added. Specifically, the study empirically examines the smiling curve hypothesis based on different valuation models of intellectual capital. Based on a panel of semiconductor firms over 2000-2005, the study finds that values added from the valuation models of MV/BV and Tobin’s q are consistent with Shih’s hypothesis. The fabless industry is found to have higher values added than the manufacturing industry and the packaging and testing industry because the fabless industry is engaged in design and marketing. We also find that the values added of Taiwan semiconductor industry are affected by business cycle, business models and productive efficiency. |
