The Impact of Exporting and Foreign Direct Investment on Product Innovation: Evidence From Chinese Manufacturers

Abstract: To understand the drivers of product innovation at the firm level, I compare the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) and exporting on product innovation using a rich firm‐level database of manufacturing and industrial enterprises. The article focuses on product innovation, as it is vital to economic development. Estimates from linear regressions and propensity score matching tests show that learning‐by‐exporting is a stronger predictor of product innovation. Firms that receive foreign investment also te… Show more

“…Because the coexistence and interdependence of outward and inward internationalization in a firm is not widely comprehended [Welch and Luostarinen, 1993;Korhonen, 1999;Fletcher, 2001], the relationships between both the outward and inward internationalization and innovativeness of firms are rarely tested in empirical research. There are few researchers who address the issue of the influence of exporting and importing or outward and inward FDI on the performance or innovativeness of firms [Bernard et al, 2007;Şeker, 2012;Filippetti et al, 2017;Olabisi, 2017]. The conclusion of research by Bernard et al is the existence of a positive influence of international openness on the performance of firms, both from developed economies and developing ones.…”

“…According to the different conditions of the solution, the corresponding algorithm will be used to perform a local search near the more optimal solution, so as to further find the optimal solution, until the optimal solution satisfies the termination condition, and the output ends. Otherwise, the algorithm automatically loops and starts to research for the optimal solution [10].…”

“…Several papers focus on imports from China specifically, given its dramatic export expansion in the past decades. The product innovation and productivity gains that enabled the expansion of Chinese exports are also well documented (Amiti and Freund, 2008;Schott, 2008;Olabisi, 2017).…”
