“…Exporting was thus an important learning vehicle for ASEAN firms and a mechanism for achieving technology transfer. The ability of countries in the region to assimilate new technologies depended on their technological capabilites (see Wignaraja, 2008). Especially important in this regard was the quality of local engineers.…”

We document that, contrary to the Rybczynski theorem, capital flows in the region cause the host country's labor-intensive industry to expand and its capital-intensive industry to decline. We also present narrative evidence that sheds light on how FDI is affected by the host's country's locational advantages, whether Asian FDI is footloose, and how the PRC has become the center of Factory Asia. Finally, we show that the evolution of production networks in the region can be explained partly by changes in the service cost of linking geographically separated production blocks relative to the cost saving arising from slicing up the value chain.

“…Para países emergentes poucos estudos foram realizados, destacando-se a análise para o caso das empresas no Brasil, China, Filipinas, Índia e Tailândia (Kumar e Siddarthan, 1994;Wignaraja, 2008;Wignaraja, 2011;De Negri, 2005;Arbix, Salerno e De Negri, 2008). Para distintos países, os trabalhos utilizam diferentes medidas de esforço inovativo e apresentam resultados heterogêneos, tornando menos evidente a relação entre esforço inovativo e desempenho exportador das empresas.…”

Foram utilizados dados por empresa da base Enterprise Survey, organizados pelo Banco Mundial para os anos 2002 e 2003 e estimados modelos probabilísticos. Os resultados encontrados para os três países sugerem que o esforço inovativo medido por novos produtos, gastos em P&D, índice de tecnologia ou cooperação, aumenta a probabilidade das empresas exportarem. Ademais, para as amostras de empresas de todos os países a participação de capital estrangeiro e os gastos com máquinas e equipamentos aumentam a probabilidade de exportarem. Contudo, nota-se que para as empresas do Brasil, Índia e China, a relação entre esforço inovativo e desempenho exportador é mais tênue do que a observada para empresas de países desenvolvidos. Palavras-Chave inovação, exportação, Brasil, Índia e China AbstractThe aim of this paper is to develop an empirical investigation about the relation between innovation effort and export performance to a sample of industrial firms from Brazil, India and China. The database used by firms is obtained from World Bank Enterprise Survey 2002 and 2003, and estimated probabilistic models. The findings suggest that a higher innovative effort from Brazil, India and China, measured by new products, R&D spending, technology index or cooperation, increases the probability of exporting. For all countries, a higher foreign capital and machines and equipments spending increase the probability of exporting. However, this study verify that to Brazilian, Indian and Chinese firms, the linkage between innovative effort and probability to export is weaker than the observed to firms from developed countries.

This article explores determinants of competitiveness in the booming Turkish textile and apparel industry. Using focus groups, nationwide survey data and explanatory factor analysis we identify 27 competitiveness items grouped into eight constructs. According to Turkish managers, the competitiveness of textile and apparel firm is heavily determined by the product differentiation, efforts across foreign markets, and availability of government's incentive and support programs. In contrast to existing studies, we find little evidence that firm networking in different forms such as close relationship politicians and state employees, clustering, and participating in the industry associations have a large effect on firm competitiveness.
