From Innovation to Exporting or Vice Versa?World Economy - Tập 33 Số 3 - Trang 374-398 - 2010
Jože P. Damijan, Črt Kostevc, Sašo Polanec
AbstractFirm productivity and export decisions are closely related to innovation activity. Innovation may play a more important role in the decision to start exporting, and successful exporting may drive process innovation. This suggests that the causality between innovation and exporting may run in both directions. Using detailed microdata from innovation surveys,...... hiện toàn bộ
Are exporters more environmentally friendly? A re‐appraisal that uses China’s micro‐dataWorld Economy - Tập 44 Số 5 - Trang 1402-1427 - 2021
Jiansuo Pei, Bodo Sturm, Anqi Yu
AbstractIs a firm's ability to export an important determinant of environmental performance? To answer this question, we construct a unique microdata set that merged two rich manufacturing firm‐level data sets for China for 2007. When combining this new data set with well‐received empirical specifications, we found that both export status and export intensity are a...... hiện toàn bộ
Exports and Productivity: A Survey of the Evidence from Firm‐level DataWorld Economy - Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 60-82 - 2007
Joachim Wagner
While the role of exports in promoting growth in general, and productivity in particular, has been investigated empirically using aggregate data for countries and industries for a long time, only recently have comprehensive longitudinal data at the firm level been used to look at the extent and causes of productivity differentials between exporters and their counterparts which sell on the ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Services Sector in India's States: A Tale of Growth, Convergence and TradeWorld Economy - Tập 37 Số 12 - Trang 1773-1793 - 2014
Anirudh Shingal
AbstractIndia's success story in services is well documented at the national level, but similar literature does not exist for India's states. We bridge this gap by studying India's services growth at the sub‐national level. Contrary to earlier commentary on the unsustainability of India's services growth process, our findings suggest that per capita... hiện toàn bộ
Natural Resources and Economic Growth: The Role of InvestmentWorld Economy - Tập 29 Số 8 - Trang 1091-1115 - 2006
Þorvaldur Gylfason, Gylfi Zoëga
Is it possible that excessive reliance on natural resources affects saving and investment in a way that retards economic growth? – and thus, in the long run, the level of output per capita. This paper reviews the literature, explores the data and compares and contrasts the explanatory power and interplay of natural resources and civil liberties, our proxy for institutional variables curren...... hiện toàn bộ
Export Market Participation, Investments in R&D and Worker Training, and the Evolution of Firm ProductivityWorld Economy - Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 83-104 - 2007
Bee Yan Aw, Mark J. Roberts, Tor Winston
This paper uses micro panel data for firms in the Taiwanese electronics industry in 1986, 1991 and 1996 to investigate a firm's decision to invest in two sources of knowledge – participation in the export market and investments in R&D and/or worker training – and assess their effect on the firm's future productivity. The firm's decisions to export and invest in R&D and/or worker tr...... hiện toàn bộ
The environmental effect of trade liberalization: Evidence from China's manufacturing firmsWorld Economy - Tập 43 Số 12 - Trang 3357-3383 - 2020
Jingbo Cui, On Kit Tam, Bei Wang, Yan Zhang
AbstractWhile prior literature on trade liberalisation and the environment has mostly focused on the macroeconomic ramifications, this study explores at the firm level whether and how changes of trade barriers brought about by China's accession to the WTO may impact on its manufacturing firms’ environmental performance. Adopting a difference‐in‐differences (DID) me...... hiện toàn bộ
