| description |
The authors use comparable micro level
panel data for 14 countries and a set of identically
specified empirical models to investigate the relationship
between exports and productivity. The overall results are in
line with the big picture that is by now familiar from the
literature: Exporters are more productive than non-exporters
when observed and unobserved heterogeneity are controlled
for, and these exporter productivity premia tend to increase
with the share of exports in total sales; there is strong
evidence in favour of self-selection of more productive
firms into export markets, but nearly no evidence in favour
of the learning-by-exporting hypothesis. The authors
document that the exporter premia differ considerably across
countries in identically specified empirical models. In a
meta-analysis of their results the authors find that
countries that are more open and have more effective
government report higher productivity premia. However, the
level of development per se does not appear to be an
explanation for the observed cross-country differences. |
