“…Similar characteristics are used in other studies especially Bigsten et al (1999). Kneller and Pisu (2004) find that the same set of variables matter for the decision to export and the export intensity. The relationship of potential independent variables with exporting is described in the following:…”

“…For larger firms it might be also easier to cover the fixed costs of export market entry, such as product compliance, market studies, additional marketing efforts and establishing contacts. Firm size, measured as number of workers or size of capital stock, is found to be a significant determinant of exporting in most studies of exporting (Roberts and Tybout, 1997;Bigsten et al, 1999;Bernard and Jensen, 2004;Kneller and Pisu, 2004). .…”

“…There is widespread agreement in the literature that there is self-selection of more productive firms into exporting. The evidence for learning by exporting is less robust (Roberts and Tybout, 1997;Bernard and Jensen, 2004;Kneller and Pisu, 2004;Greenaway and Kneller, 2005). .…”

In this paper, firm-level panel data from Ghana is used to analyse the firm characteristics that are associated with exporting in the non-traditional agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The focus of the study is on the different relationships in different sectors. The findings show that the number of firms that specialise in exporting is relatively low. While for some sectors the high cost of imports reduces their likelihood to export, for others the use of high quality inputs facilitates exporting. The share of investment seems to have only a positive effect on exporting for agricultural processing. Based on this analysis the appropriateness of different export promotion measures is discussed. Dans cet article, des donn�es de panel au niveau de firmes du Ghana sont utilis�es pour analyser les caract�ristiques des firmes exportatrices dans les secteurs non traditionnels agricole et manufacturier. Cette �tude est centr�e sur les diff�rentes relations entre secteurs, ainsi les termes d'interaction entre variables muettes sectorielles et les caract�ristiques des firmes sont incluses dans l'analyse �conom�trique. Les r�sultats montrent que le nombre de firmes sp�cialis�es � l'exportation est faible. Les entreprises plus anciennes ou plus grandes ont une probabilit� plus forte d'exporter mais n'exportent pas une part plus importante de leur production. Alors que dans certains secteurs les co�ts �lev�s des importations r�duisent les chances d'exporter, dans d'autres l'utilisation d'intrants de qualit� facilite l'exportation.

“…It may be more likely that foreign-owned firms are exporters in low-income countries, where such ownership brings skills and technology that are unavailable domestically, or FDI is attracted by relative labor costs. However, evidence of a positive effect of foreign ownership on exporting is provided, among others, in Bernard and Jensen (2004), Sterlacchini (2001), Philp (1998), Philp and Wickramasekera (1995), Blake and Pain (1994), Kneller and Pisu (2004), Barry and Bradley (1997), O'Sullivan (1993), Pain and Wakelin (1997), Ekholm et al (2003) and Jussaume and Kennedy (1993). Conversely, foreign-owned firms in Canada tend to export less than domestic food firms (for example, Vaughn, 1995;West & Vaughn, 1995).…”

Export market participation, spillovers, and foreign direct investment in Australian food manufacturing

Generating a more outward looking sector has been one of the principal aims of agrifood policy in Australia for the past two decades. Australia's proximity to fast-growing economies of East Asia has been seen as a major source for export growth. Over the same time span, there has been an increase in foreign ownership in the food sector. Using a firm-level data set for 2005, we characterize the probability that a firm participates in exporting by a set of firm characteristics, including foreign ownership and spillovers from foreign-owned firms, and find that foreign ownership neither increases nor decreases the probability that a firm will be involved in exporting.

“…Once foreign participation exceeds this 25 percent threshold firms are classified as being foreign-owned multinationals. Our analysis does not consider such foreign owned firms as the determinants of exporting can be expected to be quite different for those two types of firms (e.g., Kneller and Pisu, 2004), and because the focus of our paper is on the development of domestic exporters. Hence, we only use information on domestic owned firms in our analysis.…”
