...'5 This definition is analogous to that in Aitken et al. (1999) who use employment as weights. Blalock (2001) and Schoors et al. (2001) employ output weights but do not take into account the share of foreign equity, treating total output of firms with at least ten percent foreign equity as foreign. 16 Since relationships between sectors may change over time (although a radical change is unlikely), ideally we would like to use multiple input-output matrices. Unfortunately, input-output matrices for later years are unavailable. Similarly, while we would prefer to use a matrix excluding imnports, it is not available. Thus, our results should be interpreted keeping these two caveats in mind. " This approach is followed by Schoors et al. (2001) but not by Blalock (2001). Including the share of intermediates supplied within the sector in the Backward measure (as was done in the earlier version of this paper) does not change the conclusions with respect to the correlation between firm productivity and foreign presence in the sourcing sectors....
