| description |
The paper analyzes the relationship
between country size and the use of imported intermediate
inputs by firms in 76 developing countries. Recent evidence
indicates that the use of imported inputs can have a large,
positive effect on productivity and growth, thus motivating
a better understanding of the determinants of foreign
inputs. The results confirm that, as is the case with
exports, use of imported intermediate inputs is much higher
at the extensive and intensive margins in small relative to
large countries. The results for imported inputs are
comparable in magnitude with those for exports. |
