Abstract Widespread empirical evidence indicates that exporting producers have higher
productivity than nonexporters, although the reasons why are unclear. Some analysts argue
that exporters acquire knowledge of new production methods, inputs, and product designs ...

High rates of firm entry and exit have accompanied the rapid and sustained growth of output
in Taiwan's manufacturing sector. A high rate of firm turnover can contribute to industry
productivity growth if it reflects a transfer of resources from less efficient to more efficient ...

Abstract Theoretical models predict that quantitative import restrictions, such as orderly
marketing agreements (OMAs), lead to substitution into higher quality products within the
quotaconstrained import category. The country specific nature of OMAs results in further ...

This paper uses micro panel data for firms in the Taiwanese electronics industry in 1986,

participation in the export market and investments in R&D and/or worker training–and ...

While there is widespread empirical evidence indicating exporting producers have higher
productivity than nonexporters, the mechanisms that generate this pattern are less clear.
One view is that exporters acquire knowledge of new production methods, inputs, and ...

A positive correlation between productivity and export market participation has been well

We use micro panel data for producers in seven two-digit manufacturing industries in South Korea

A large empirical literaturehas documented that firm-level differences in productivity, size,
