Hypothesis: Direct Evidence from UK Firms
Case study evidence suggests that exporting firms learn from their clients. But econometric evidence, mostly using exporting and TFP growth, is mixed. We use a UK panel data set with firm-level information on exporting and productivity. Our innovation is that we also have direct data on the sources of learning (in this case about new technologies). Controlling for fixed effects we have two main...
متن کاملGlobalisation , Productivity and Technology Research Paper 2007 / 04 The returns to exporting : Evidence from UK firms
The question of learning versus self-selection has dominated the micro-econometric literature on firm export decisions, without leading to any firm conclusions. In part this reflects the limited information content of the data typically used. In this paper we use survey data on UK firms to offer some new insights into this debate. Consistent with the literature we find that the impacts of expor...

متن کاملInteraction between exporting and productivity at firm level: Evidence from the UK chemical industry
This paper investigates the interaction between exporting and productivity at firm level , using a panel of firms in UK chemical industry which is highly technology intensive and the largest UK manufacturing exporter. We find exporters are on average smaller but more productive than non-exporters. Applying empirical techniques from Bernard and Jensen(2001) and Kraay(1999), we find the superior ...
متن کاملExporting, linkages and productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment
In this paper we analyse productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment using firm level panel data UK manufacturing industries from 1992 to 1999. We investigate spillovers through horizontal, backward and forward linkages, distinguish spillovers from export oriented vs domestic market oriented FDI, and allow for differing effects depending on domestic firms’ export activities. The resu...
