“…The decision concerning how much to export was affected positively by MNEs in downstream industries and by those in the same industry and region that do not export. Similar issues were studied more recently by Karpaty and Kneller () for Sweden.…”

Multinational Enterprises, Absorptive Capacity and Export Spillovers: Evidence from Polish Firm‐level Data

An important benefit attributed to the activity of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in developing and transition countries is its effect on international market access. Through a variety of channels the presence of MNEs is expected to reduce the costs faced by indigenous firms in breaking into international markets and in turn boost their export prospects. In this paper we use an extensive Polish firm-level dataset for the period 2000-2008 to verify whether MNEs have positively contributed to the export performance of indigenous firms. We track not only sectoral and geographical spillovers stemming from the activity of MNEs but also control for firm-specific characteristics that affect indigenous firms' decisions to export including their absorptive capacity. Our empirical results support the existence of positive spillovers (related to MNE export activity) at the sectoral level but not at the regional level. Finally, we find that individual absorptive capacity determines the size of export spillovers.

“…For example, a firm's level of sales, labour cost, capital per worker, location, share of sales in the domestic market and so on can influence export behaviour. External factors, such as the presence of foreign firms, the industry and region specifics, can also have an influence on the export activity of domestic firms (Aitken & Harrison, ; Karpaty & Kneller, ; Sun, ). Clearly, not every firm engages in export activity, because firms differ from one another in their characteristics that lead them to their own production decisions.…”

“…Unlike the numerous existing studies (Aitken et al, ; Anwar & Nguyen, ; Greenaway et al, ; Karpaty & Kneller, ; Kneller & Pisu, ; Sun, ), where Heckman's approach is applied to a cross‐sectional or pooled data set, we proceed with a panel data set and apply the Heckman selection approach on panel data. In order to analyse the impacts on both the decision to export and export performance of local firms using a panel data set, we follow Wooldridge () and Haussen and Uebelmesser ()—henceforth the Wooldridge approach—and apply two steps.…”

Using firm‐level data, this paper examines the effects of foreign investment on the exporting behaviour of domestic firms in the Vietnamese manufacturing and service sectors. Applying the Heckman selection model on panel data and following the Wooldridge approach, we find that investment by foreign firms has a significant positive effect on the decision of domestic firms in the same and upstream sectors to export. The proportion of exports of domestic firms declines through horizontal and forward linkages, but increases through backward linkages in the manufacturing sector. However, there is only weak evidence in support of export spillovers on domestic firms in the service sector. We also find that the presence of foreign firms has differing effects on the exporting activities of low‐ versus high‐tech firms in the manufacturing sector.

“…A direct one, capturing knowledge spillovers, is through the action of FDI which serves as a production platform for domestic export to other countries; the indirect one is due to the fact that domestic firms learn to export from multinationals because of non market interaction (information, competition and imitation) and input–output relationships (see also Greenaway , Sousa, & Wakelin, ). Negative effects may, however, occur because of the weak interaction with local firms, the congestion on local infrastructure and the increase in the cost of labour (Alvarez & Lopez, ; Karpaty & Kneller, ).…”

This paper analyses the differential impact of several territorial determinants of the economic performance of Italian provinces (NUTS 3 level). as measured by per capita GDP, export and employment growth from 1999 to 2014. It covers both the pre‐crisis and the crisis period and stresses the role of geographical proximity in shaping local performance over a wide set of explanatory variables. In order to do so, we employ, firstly, a spatial Durbin model which enables us to discriminate between direct and indirect effects and to highlight the possible contagion or crowding‐out spatial effects for each territorial dimension affecting growth. Then, we extend the analysis by allowing for the possibility of two regimes (pre‐crisis and post‐crisis). The performance of the provinces before and during the crisis relates to specific territorial components and geographic proximity appears to influence differently the results and their interpretation.
