“…In addition, these studies join another equation to the baseline equation so as to explain innovation by several instrumental variables (often R&D). While Cassiman and Martínez-Ros (2007);Caldera (2010); Máñez-Castillejo et al (2009) use the same data set, some differences between them in terms of sample and/or variables selection, lead to their contradicting results (see Table 1). …”

“…To overcome the endogeneity problem of innovation into export 7 induced by learning effect, 8 the various authors proceed in two ways: either they compare the non-exporters and 'starters' 9 directly by eliminating the exporting firms from the estimation (Van Beveren and Vandenbussche, 2010); or they use a dynamic model in which a lagged export variable is introduced as an explanatory variable (Caldera, 2010;Máñez-Castillejo et al, 2009). In addition, these studies join another equation to the baseline equation so as to explain innovation by several instrumental variables (often R&D).…”

Innovation and willingness to export: is there an effect of conscious self-selection?

This paper presents an analysis of the crucial relationship between innovation, productivity, and export in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The primary aims of this study are to evaluate the role of innovation in the premium export and test the hypothesis of firm conscious self-selection on willingness to export. To this end, the authors used their database of SMEs, obtained from the survey conducted in the IDEIS project, which provides highly pertinent information on innovation and export areas. Based on the aforementioned database, the authors evaluate apparent premium of exportation and innovation. In addition, they demonstrate the effectiveness of the export premium for high exportation firms that implement process and organization innovations. Finally, the authors analyse the effect of conscious self-selection from the export process that transforms an intention to export into the capacity to export in short term. The conscious self-selection to export is revealed by simultaneously endogeneizing productivity and innovation output based on recursive non-linear model. JEL C14 C35 D22 F12 O31

“…In particular, international markets select the most productive and innovative firms. Several studies (e.g., Masso and Vahter, 2011;Lopez, 2009;Claudio, Jose and Alvaro, 2014;Harris and Li, 2008;Manez-Castillejo et al 2009) have estimated the link between innovation, productivity and exporting. They categorized their relationship into two major hypotheses.…”

“…On the other hand, the causal link between innovation (product/process) and exporting is identified by Lachenmair and Wobmann (2006) using micro level data on German manufacturing firms. Further, Manez-Castillejo et al (2009) investigated the simultaneous relationship between innovation, productivity and exporting using panel data (1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000) on Spanish firms. Their empirical analysis i.e., dynamic trivariate probit model results showed that highly productive firms self select the international markets for 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.
