Is Exporting a Source of Productivity Spillovers
Roberto Alvarez,Ricardo A. López +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether exporting generates positive productivity spillover effects on other plants in the same industry and on plants in vertically related industries, and they find strong evidence that domestic as well as foreign-owned exporting plants improve productivity of local suppliers.

Mark J. Roberts,James Tybout +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the effect of prior exporting experience on the decisions of Colombian manufacturing plants to participate in foreign markets and developed a dynamic discrete-choice model of exporting behavior that separates the roles of profit heterogeneity and sunk entry costs in explaining plants' exporting status.

Is "learning-by-exporting" important? Micro-dynamic evidence from Colombia, Mexico and Morocco
TL;DR: The authors analyzed the causal links between exporting and productivity using firm-level panel data from three semi-industrialized countries and found that relatively efficient firms become exporters, but firms' unit costs are not affected by previous export market participation, while the well-known efficiency gap between exporters and non-exporters is due to self-selection of the more efficient firms into the export market, rather than learning by exporting.

Andrew B. Bernard,Joachim Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the role of exporting in German firms' performance and find no positive effects on employment, wage or productivity growth after entry into the export market and conclude that success leads to exporting rather than the reverse.
