How Does an Industry Thrive More From Exporting? A Theoretical Analysis of the Learning-by-Exporting Effect with Innovation and Asymmetric Demand
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract This paper introduces asymmetric demand into an open-economy model. Domestic industries exhibit different export capabilities, and the export market attaches different preferences to them. My model shows how exports influence the market structure and productivity growth. If an industry exports more, the firms within the industry would face a higher domestic-market but lower export-market entry threshold. The industry can exhibit a significant learning-by-exporting effect; that is, its exports can significantly increase productivity growth, only when its innovation expenditure is sufficiently high.

Asymmetric Effect of Oil Price on the Terms of Trade: Evidence from Oil Exporting and Importing Countries
The oil price shocks are an important source that affect on TOT in both oil exporting and importing countries. Hence, this paper compares the effects of real oil price shock on TOT in both oil importing and exporting countries, using Panel Data technique and during 1980-2010. To the best of our knowledge, we applied the nonlinear approach in order to assess the asymmetric impact of the oil pri...
متن کاملThe Effect of the Origin of Oil Price Shocks on Macroeconomic Dynamics in an Oil-Exporting Country: An Open DSGE Model
In recent years, some research has focused on the importance of the origin of an oil shock for macroeconomic dynamics in both oil-exporting and importing countries. The existing literature lacks a proper open Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (DSGE) framework to investigate the effect of the origins of oil shocks on macro variables in a two-country model consisting of an oil-exporting coun...
متن کاملLearning 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...
متن کاملConvergence 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...
متن کاملBalance of Payment Constrained Growth in Tow Developing and Developed Oil-Exporting Economies (Case Study: Iran and Norway)
In this study, we aim to compare results of the basic and extensive forms of the Thirlwall model (balance of payment constrained growth model) for two economies including Iran and Norway. In this model, demand variables i. e. export and import determine the limit of economic growth in the long run. The balance of payment (deficit) can be a factor as a constraint on the rate of growth of output ...
