Detecting Learning by Exporting

Convergence or Capabilities? Explaining Firm Heterogeneity in Learning by Exporting

An interesting theoretical debate arises with respect to learning-by-exporting when considering macro-economic convergence and firm capability arguments side-by-side. Convergence theory intimates that technologically lagging firms stand to benefit most from exporting because exposure to the advanced technological knowledge in foreign markets allows them to make up for the disparity in capabilit...

Learning by exporting : Lessons from high-technology SMEs

Theory points to the existence of a ‘learning by exporting effect’, in which exposure to export markets enhances performance through exposure to the knowledge stocks of trading partners. We investigate the learning by exporting hypothesis by examining the effect of exporting on the subsequent innovation performance of UK high-tech SMEs. We find evidence of learning by exporting, but the pattern...

Detecting Learning Moment-by-Moment

Intelligent tutors have become increasingly accurate at detecting whether a student knows a skill, or knowledge component (KC), at a given time. However, current student models do not tell us exactly at which point a KC is learned. In this paper, we present a machine-learned model that assesses the probability that a student learned a KC at a specific problem step (instead of at the next or pre...
