“…Although studies didn't find statistically significant relationship between innovation and export performance (Mais, Carvalho, & Amal, 2014), we hypothesized, in line with the empirical study of Monreal-Pérez et al (2012), as well as evidences from Cassiman, Golovko and Martínez-Ros (2010), Alegre, Pla-Barber, Chiva and Villar (2012), Becker and Egger (2013) and Tavassoli (2013), that, due to the gains in the competitiveness, innovation can be seen as a strategic advantage to overcome trade barriers and to establish a significant market position, as well in the domestic as in foreign markets: H3: Innovation is positively associated with export performance of firms.…”

Regional clusters and innovations in product and processes are found in the literature as important determinants of firms' export performance. However, this relationship is still controversial and very highly constrained by industry, and by regions. Based on a more integrative perspective, the aim of the present article is to investigate the role of agglomeration economies of a regional cluster on the export performance of firms. Furthermore, we will test the mediating effect of innovation and the extent by which the technological intensity of the industry can perform a moderating effect between the constructs. Based on a sample of 100 export companies operating in the manufacturing industries, we use structural equation modeling to estimate the determinants of export performance. The results reveal that the agglomeration economies of a regional cluster have been found determinant factors of the export performance, as well as a significant source to generate innovations by firms. However, we found no evidence between the innovations in products and processes and export performance. The results have also shown that there are no differences among technological intensity of the industries, suggesting that the firms will access agglomeration resources of regional cluster in a complementary way to their internal resources.

“…Concerning the empirical strategies to estimate the SS hypothesis, numerous researchers (Caldera, 2010;Monreal-Perez et al 2011;Halpern and Murakozy, 2012;Faustino and Matos, 2015) have examined the link between innovation, productivity and exporting. Caldera (2010) and Monreal-Perez et al (20111) have used the two stage least square (2SLS) method to resolve the endogeneity between innovation (product/process) and exporting.…”

This aim of this empirical paper is to investigate the self-selection and learning-by-exporting hypotheses. This study addresses the reverse causality between innovation, productivity and exporting using micro level data on 29 countries from Eurasia and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). CDM estimation results suggest that innovation and productivity positively influence the firm's exporting and vice versa. This study has supported the self-selection and learning-by-exporting hypotheses. Previous studies provided mixed outcome on the analysis of these two major hypotheses. Similarly, innovation by exporting is examined using multiple proxies of innovation such as product/process innovation, R&D and organizational innovation. Findings imply that innovation is an important determinant of firms' exporting and this outcome is robust across Eurasian and CEE firms. Moreover, foreign owned firms are more likely to export and innovate than domestic firms due to their technological superiority over domestic firms. Concerning policy implications, economic policies should address the firm's innovation, productivity and exporting performance. This would result in better economic integration between Eurasian and CEE firms. By removing the firm's barriers such as access to finance, trade regulations and taxation etc would encourage trade networks between Eurasian and CEE firms.

“…First, although there are a growing number of studies that examine the dynamic interdependence of innovation and export decisions, there is rather little evidence on this issue for SMEs in developing countries. In previous studies, SMEs are usually ignored (Monreal-Pérez et al 2012). This is due to (i) the conventional view that SMEs do not have adequate resources to conduct and manage innovation activities, and (ii) a lack of firm-level data on SMEs (Majocchi and Zucchella 2003;Wignaraja 2008).…”

Using a dynamic bivariate probit model and adopting a broad definition of internationalization, this paper analyzes these issues using a panel dataset of small and medium-sized enterprises in Viet Nam. The results show a high persistence in process and product innovations and internationalization decisions. Furthermore, we find that, for non-micro firms, past internationalization has a positive effect on process innovation, but past process innovation does not have a significant effect on the internationalization decision. For this group of firms, we also find signs of cross-dependence between process innovation and the internationalization decision. Our results, however, do not show dynamic interdependence between internationalization and product innovation.
