“…In this backdrop, the present study examines the major factors that determine innovation in case of Indian manufacturing firms. There are plenty of studies which examine linkage between R&D and productivity, determinants of R&D, adoption of technology, FDI spillover effects and productivity, and relationship between R&D, productivity and trade in case of Indian manufacturing (see, for instance, Basant & Fikkert, 1996; Franco & Sasidharan, 2010; Hasan, 2002; Kathuria, 2002; Kumar & Aggarwal, 2005; Kumar & Joseph, 2006; Kumar & Saqib, 1996; Kumar and Siddharthan, 1994; Parthasarathi & Joseph, 2002; Raut, 1995; Ray & Bhaduri, 2001; Sasidharan & Kathuria, 2011; Sharma, 2012; Sharma & Mishra, 2011; Siddharthan, 1992; Siddharthan & Narayanan, 2016). But few studies have focused on innovation and its major determinants (see, e.g., Cohen & Levinthal, 1989; Monreal- Pérez et al, 2012; Narayanan & Bhat, 2009; Van Long, Raff & Stahler, 2011; Wang & Kafouros, 2009; Yang & Chen, 2012).…”

This article examines the determinants of innovation using selected manufacturing firms in India. Our study is based on 190 manufacturing firms which were surveyed from Bengaluru and Hyderabad cities in India. The results based on panel probit model reveal that exports and R&D expenditure positively and significantly affect the innovation in case of manufacturing sector. Other key factors such as import intensity, manager's prior experience, and conducting training sessions to the employee at firm level do positively affect the innovation activities. However, firm age and capital intensity negatively affect innovation. The results suggest the policymakers to concentrate more on export orientation policies and investing in R&D through subsidising or creating more R&D incentive projects which would significantly boost innovations in India.

“…The marginal benefits from exposure to exporting can be greater for countries with poor technology and low productivity in comparison with those in developed countries. More importantly, different conclusions might come from using a wide variety of econometric methodologies for testing these two hypotheses (Sharma & Mishra, 2011).…”

This paper uses Vietnamese firm-level data to examine the relationship between firm productivity and exporting. In particular, this paper shows that more productive firms are more likely than less productive firms to export, consistent with the extensive prior literature. However, this paper finds no evidence that exporting affects productivity, which can be decomposed into technical efficiency change, technological progress, and scale change. Thus, the findings support a large role of self-selection in accounting for export decision, but little gain from learning-by-exporting in the case of Vietnamese Small medium sized enterprises (SMEs). These findings imply that export promotion policies may not be effective unless accompanied by strategies to help SMEs become more productive. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…According to Parente, Prescott (1994), technology transfer is important factor for productivity dynamics. Productivity growth can occur as a result of many factors such as capital accumulation, the adaption of new technologies, research and development (R&D), changes in the organization of companies and through export participation (Sharma, Mishra, 2009). Falvey et al (2004) studied the linkages between exports, restructuring and industry productivity changes in Sweden and showed that exporting has sizeable impact on industry productivity growth which is independent of the interactions between exporting and companies productivity.…”

“…Ben-David (1993) have provided empirical evidence that trade and growth are positively related. The interaction between international trade and productivity was analysed by Bernard, Jensen (2004), Sharma, Mishra (2009), Falvey et al (2004), Wagner (2007). Pessoa (2007) presented arguments and empirical findings on effects of FDI on host country firm's productivity.…”

This paper analyses the existing measures of productivity in Lithuanian manufacturing industry. Total factor productivity and its continuous growth are viewed as significant parameter that determine the competitive advantage in manufacturing and depend on changes of significant factors as R&D intensity, international trade and foreign direct investment. Productivity measures indicate the interaction between produced commodities or services and used capital and labour resources. The most common measure is labour productivity, measures the value added per employee and equates the turnover with the costs of commodity. The empirical study provides an analysis of the shifting the labour productivity differentials in manufacturing industries of Lithuania. The paper aims to evaluate the dynamics of productivity of manufacturing industries in the context of economic integration. Economic policies under export growth strategy have been widely argued that export increasing helps to enhance the productivity of exporters.
