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 training are model... hiện toàn bộ
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, industrial production surveys,

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 associated with lower

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) methodology, we document
the effect... hiện toàn bộ
From the Soviet Union to the European Union: Estonian Trade Policy, 1991–2000World Economy - Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 79-106 - 2002
Magnus Feldmann, Razeen Sally
This paper examines the political economy of Estonian trade policy in the 1990s.
Estonia is a unique case in the world economy, in that the country rapidly
implemented unilateral free trade after regaining independence and sustained it
right through the 1990s. We analyse the circumstances, interests, ideas and
institutions that have shaped Estonian trade policy during the past decade. Our
stress i... 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 domestic... 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 services may be converging across Indian
states ... hiện toàn bộ
How Does FDI Affect Domestic Firms’ Exports? Industrial EvidenceWorld Economy - Tập 32 Số 8 - Trang 1203-1222 - 2009
Sizhong Sun
Using a Heckman sample selection model estimated using pooled four‐year
firm‐level data, this paper explores the export spillovers from the FDI in the
cultural, educational and sporting product manufacturing industry of the
manufacturing sector in China from 2000 to 2003. The manufacturing sector
contributes around 40 per cent of the GDP in the Chinese economy, and the
cultural, educational and sp... hiện toàn bộ
