Abstract:
This study evaluated human capital efficiency and firm value of quoted Non-financial firms in Nigeria. Its core objective is to evaluate the effect human capital efficiency has on firm values. The study employed secondary data and panel regression models which were subjected to descriptive Statistics, Correlation Matrix, and Hausman test for interpretations. Data was collected from (76) quoted Non-financial firms from the year (2011-2020). The study was anchored in Resource-based theory. Findings hold that there is a negative influence of capital employed efficiency as it has positive but not significant influence, firm size (FISZ) has negative and significant influence and firm age (FIRA) has positive and non-significant influence on firm value of non-financial firms in Nigeria. Concluding, only human capital employed efficiency and firm age influenced firm value positively and thus the study recommends that the human capital component of intellectual capital should be trained and educated regularly to build capacity. Firms’ specific growth and sustainability policy should be strongly placed using corporate governance code and other enhanced internal innovative processes to ensure that their existence is not affected by age.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of intellectual capital potency on firm value of non-financial firms in Nigeria. This study uses analysis technique to measure ICD. Secondary data were obtained from the Audited account reports of selected non financial firms and Nigerian exchange factbook for the period 2011-2020.This study selected 76 firms out of 107 quoted firms in non-financial sector of Nigerian economy using simple purposive sampling method. The 76 firms were analyzed using regression analysis. The results shows that there is negative influence of capital employed efficiency on firm value while human capital employed efficiency have positive but no significant influence on firm value. The moderating variables of firm size (FISZ) have negative and significant influence, while firm age (FIRA) has positive and non significant influence on firm value of non- financial firms in Nigeria. The findings enhanced the knowledge base of intellectual capital in emerging economies such as Nigeria. Based on the findings this study recommended that, the human capital component of intellectual capital should be trained and educated regularly, innovated, nurture capacity, creativity, know-how and previous experience, teamwork capacity, employee flexibility, tolerance for ambiguity, motivated, satisfied, so as to enhance the usefulness of its output to total input. Also firm specific growth and sustainability policy should strongly placed using corporate governance code and other enhanced internal structural innovative processed to ensure that the firm does not extinct.

Abstract:
Drawing on crisis management and organizational resilience literature, this study adopts a firm’s capability-based perspective of organizational resilience to examine how different sets of firm-based resilient capabilities a firm has developed can help a firm achieve sustainable firm performance during a crisis. We took a configurational approach and applied the fsQCA method to examine how various combinations of a firm’s financial, cognitive, and behavioral capabilities as causal conditions can affect firm financial performance. For the empirical analysis, 21 listed Chinese film and television firms were selected. We collected information on financial capability from 2018 to 2020, and on cognitive and behavioral capabilities and firm size in 2020. This study obtains six configurations or paths that lead to the improved performance. Overall, the findings indicate that if a large firm has a low level of financial capability, it needs to leverage its cognitive capability instead of behavioral capability. A small firm with high financial capability needs to quickly leverage its cognitive capability but can use less behavioral capability. On the other hand, small firms with low financial capability need to utilize its behavioral capability to take quicker actions. With comprehensive analysis and multiple-perspective comparison of configurations, the study proposes various response strategic suggestions for firms with different sizes during the COVID-19 epidemic in China.

Abstract:
Family firm heterogeneity results in reduced predictability of firm behavior as well as inconsistent results regarding research on family firm behavior. We argue that family firm heterogeneity is based, among other factors, on values heterogeneity. In order to lay the ground for future research, we develop a taxonomy of family firms based on values. Using values theory, we identify six value categories, resulting in five family firm types with five distinct value profiles. Second, we posit family firm values profiles are distinct to the group of family firms as nonfamily firms do not display similar value profiles.

Abstract:
Purpose - This paper empirically investigates the relationship between firm productivity and importing intermediate inputs in the Korean manufacturing sector. Design/methodology - This paper tests the two related hypotheses on the relationship between importing and productivity for a sample of Korean manufacturing firms. We test the self-selection hypothesis by comparing pre-entry levels of productivity between importers and non-importers. We test the learning-by-importing hypothesis by employing propensity score matching with differencein- differences approach. Findings - Future importers are more productive than future non-importers years before they start to import, which supports the self-selection hypothesis. In contrast, there is no strong evidence for learning-by-importing. Originality/value - This paper is the first study to explore the relationship between importing and firm-level productivity for Korean firms. The results have an important implication on trade policies to lower or raise trade barriers in imported inputs.

Abstract:
We study the relationship of top management team’s (TMT) pay with firm performance with a sample of 80 firms listed on Saudi stock market. We find that firm performance and firm size emerge as significant variables in explaining TMT compensation. This is in line with many of the earlier studies which proxy the firm performance as the ability of the firm to pay higher compensation and firm size as a proxy for complexity of operations. We find that large firms and firms with better financial performance pay higher compensation to their TMT. When we group the firms into large firms and small firms, we find that firm size and firm performance are significant variables that influence TMT pay only in case of large firms. Our results show that firm size does not influence TMT pay and only firm performance impacts TMT pay.

Abstract:
This paper addresses the issue of firm age and asset (Size) impact on firm performance. The main purpose of this paper is to find, whether firms age and asset can behave in similar fashion across industries particularly in manufacturing and service industries. The results show that manufacturing firms are older and slightly better profitable than services firms. The age of the firm is significant but negatively related to services firms The firm age does not produce any result for many facturing firms. Interestiingly, the total asset of the manufacturing firms’ is significantly related to firm performance, but it produces negative relationship between firm asset and firm perfprmance. The firm asset does not yield any results for service firms. Finally, it is concluded that the age and asset of the firm behaves differntly according to the industry charcterstics.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the association between the Remuneration Committee (RC) on firm performance. The research uses a data span of 63 financial institutions for a period of 12 years. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Random Effects (RE) regression estimations are used. The ascertained empirical results indicate that the establishment of remuneration committee by the board is positively correlated to its performance, as measured by its Return on Assets (ROA), and is also statistically significant on the Market Value (MV) of the firm. Subsequent tests conducted show that presence of an RC had a positive and statistically significant correlation during the pre/post global financial crisis on the ROA of the firm. The MV measure during the pre-crisis indicates a positive and statistically significant impact, but only positive during the post-crisis. The findings are robust across econometric models that control for different types of endogeneity. The outcome indicates that the establishment of an RC by the board assisted in achieving a positive impact on the profitability of UK financial institutions

Abstract:
The process or procedure for establishing a firm is regulated in Article 22 and Article 23 of the Commercial Law Code (hereinafter referred to as KUHD). In this provision, it is stipulated that the firm must be established with an authentic deed and registered with the Registrar of the District Court where the firm was established. The regulations in the KUHD are not in line with the Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation Number 17 Year 2018 regarding the Registration of the Military Alliance, the Fima Alliance and the Civil Alliance which indicates that the registration of the firm is carried out in the Legal Entity Administration System (hereinafter referred to as SABU). it appears that there is a norm conflict between the two rules. This study aims to determine the arrangements in registering the Firm and the legal consequences of not registering the Firm in the Business Entity Administration System (SABU). This research is a normative legal research. In research using a statutory and conceptual approach. Using primary and secondary legal materials. The results showed that based on the principle of Lex Superiori derogate Legi Inferiori, based on the hierarchy of statutory regulations, the KUHD which is equivalent to the Law is stronger than the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 17 of 2018 concerning Registration of Komanditer Alliance, Firm Alliance and Civil Alliance whose position is under Government Regulations and Presidential Regulations, because the Acts are higher than Government Regulations and Presidential Regulations. The legal consequence of not registering a firm with SABU is that the name of the firm can be used first by other firms so it must change the name of the firm concerned with another name because in the SABU system there is a registration of the firm's alliance name. If there is a partnership with another firm that registers the name of the firm first, then the name of the same firm cannot be registered again and the firm is deemed invalid. Proses atau tata cara pendirian firma diatur dalam Pasal 22 dan Pasal 23 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Dagang (yang selanjutnya disebut KUHD). Dalam ketentuan tersebuti menentukan bahwa firma harus didirikan dengan akta otentik dan didaftarkan pada Kepaniteraan Pengadilan Negeri dimana firma tersebut didirikan. Peraturan dalam KUHD tersebut tidak sejalan dengan Peraturan Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Nomor 17 Tahun 2018 tentang Pendaftaran Persekutuan Komanditer, Persekutuan Fima dan Persekutuan Perdata yang mengisyaratkan bahwa pendaftaran firma dilakukan pada Sistem Administrasi Badan Hukum (yang selanjutnya disebut SABU). terlihat bahwa adanya konflik norma diantara kedua aturan itu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaturan dalam pendaftaran Firma dan akibat hukum apabila tidak mendaftarkan Firma pada Sistem Administrasi Badan Usaha (SABU). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif. Dalam penelitian menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Menggunakan bahan hukum primer dan sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan asas Lex Superiori derogate Legi Inferiori maka berdasarkan hirarki peraturan perundang-undangan, KUHD yang setara dengan Undang-Undang lebih kuat dibanding Peraturan Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Nomor 17 Tahun 2018 tentang Pendaftaran Persekutuan Komanditer, Persekutuan Firma dan Persekutuan Perdata yang kedudukannya dibawah Peraturan Pemerintah dan Peraturan Presiden, karena Undang-Undang kedudukannya lebih tinggi dari Peraturan Pemerintah dan Peraturan Presiden. Akibat hukum dari tidak didaftarkannya firma pada SABU, yaitu nama firma dapat dipakai terlebih dahulu oleh firma lainnya sehingga harus mengganti nama firma yang bersangkutan dengan nama yang lain karena di dalam sistem SABU terdapat pendaftaran nama persekutuan firma. Jika ada persekutuan firma lain yang mendaftarkan nama firmanya terlebih dahulu maka nama firma yang sama tidak akan bisa didaftarkan kembali dan firma tersebut dianggap tidak sah pendiriannya.

Abstract:
We study whether workers progress up firm wage and size job ladders, and the cyclicality of this movement. Search theory predicts that workers should flow toward larger, higher paying firms. However, we see little evidence of a firm size ladder, partly because small, young firms poach workers from all other businesses. In contrast, we find strong evidence of a firm wage ladder that is highly procyclical. During the Great Recession, this firm wage ladder collapsed, with net worker reallocation to higher wage firms falling to zero. The earnings consequences from this lack of upward progression are sizable. (JEL D22, E24, E32, J31, J63, J64, L25)

Abstract:
The topic of this thesis is economic dynamism. The five articles contribute to the literature on firm entry and firm growth. Studies are based on a dataset covering all Swedish limited liability firms between 1997 and 2010. The first article investigates conditions for firm entry in Sweden, distinguishing regular entrants from entrants that survive for at least two years, modelling the firm entry decision using count data models. While high income and a well-educated population had a positive effect, the effect was more important for surviving entrants. The second article uses a similar method, but focuses on wholesale industries and distinguishes between regular entry and in migration of firms, i.e. when an incumbent firm relocates its operations. Access to a university, many educated workers and low local taxes had positive effects. Better access to infrastructure had a strong positive effect on entrants, but it was smaller for in-migrating firms. The third article investigates if the industry context matters for whether Gibrat’s law holds, i.e. whether firm growth is independent of firm size. The law is found more likely to be rejected in industries with a high minimum efficient scale and a large number of firms located in metropolitan areas, but more likely to hold in industries with high market concentration and more group ownership. The fourth and fifth article contribute to the high-growth firms (HGFs) literature. In the fourth article it is examined whether the way HGFs are defined matters for the policy implications. It is found that the economic contributions of HGFs differ significantly depending on definition. Young firms are however more likely to be HGFs irrespective of definition. The fifth article considers the frequent argument that policymakers should target high-tech firms, i.e., firms with high R&D intensity, because such firms are thought more likely to become HGFs. We examine this assumption by studying the industry distribution of HGFs. Results indicate that industries with high R&D intensity, ceteris paribus, can be expected to have a lower share of HGFs than can industries with lower R&D intensity. By contrast, we find that HGFs are overrepresented in service industries with a high share of human capital.

Abstract:
This thesis consists of a summary and five self-contained papers addressing dynamics of firms in the Swedish wholesale trade sector. Paper [1] focuses upon determinants of new firm formation in the Swedish wholesale trade sector, using two definitions of firms’ relevant markets, markets defined as administrative areas, and markets based on a cost minimizing behavior of retailers. The paper shows that new entering firms tend to avoid regions with already high concentration of other firms in the same branch of wholesaling, while right-of-the-center local government and quality of the infrastructure have positive impacts upon entry of new firms. The signs of the estimated coefficients remain the same regardless which definition of relevant market is used, while the size of the coefficients is generally higher once relevant markets delineated on the cost-minimizing assumption of retailers are used. Paper [2] analyses determinant of firm relocation, distinguishing between the role of the factors in in-migration municipalities and out-migration municipalities. The results of the analysis indicate that firm-specific factors, such as profits, age and size of the firm are negatively related to the firm’s decision to relocate. Furthermore, firms seems to be avoiding municipalities with already high concentration of firms operating in the same industrial branch of wholesaling and also to be more reluctant to leave municipalities governed by right-of-the- center parties. Lastly, firms seem to avoid moving to municipalities characterized with high population density. Paper [3] addresses determinants of firm growth, adopting OLS and a quantile regression technique. The results of this paper indicate that very little of the firm growth can be explained by the firm-, industry- and region-specific factors, controlled for in the estimated models. Instead, the firm growth seems to be driven by internal characteristics of firms, factors difficult to capture in conventional statistics. This result supports Penrose’s (1959) suggestion that internal resources such as firm culture, brand loyalty, entrepreneurial skills, and so on, are important determinants of firm growth rates. Paper [4] formulates a forecasting model for firm entry into local markets and tests this model using data from the Swedish wholesale industry. The empirical analysis is based on directly estimating the profit function of wholesale firms and identification of low- and high-return local markets. The results indicate that 19 of 30 estimated models have more net entry in high-return municipalities, but the estimated parameters is only statistically significant at conventional level in one of our estimated models, and then with unexpected negative sign. Paper [5] studies effects of firm relocation on firm profits of relocating firms, employing a difference-in-difference propensity score matching. Using propensity score matching, the pre-relocalization differences between relocating and non-relocating firms are balanced, while the difference-in-difference estimator controls for all time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity among firms. The results suggest that firms that relocate increase their profits significantly, in comparison to what the profits would be had the firms not relocated. This effect is estimated to vary between 3 to 11 percentage points, depending on the length of the analyzed period.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the extent of derivatives use in South Africa. In addition, it examines the effect of derivatives use on firm risk and value. The dissertation is based on a sample of 91 South African non-financial firms listed on the FTSE/JSE Africa All Share Index on the JSE over the sample period 2012 to 2016. Firm risk is measured using total risk, systematic risk and unsystematic risk while the Tobin's Q is used as the proxy for firm value. The results of this dissertation show that 62% of firms included in this sample use derivatives. Foreign currency derivatives were the most commonly used as 80.3% of firms used them followed by interest rate derivatives at 46% and then commodity price derivatives at 21.8%. This dissertation provides evidence that the use of derivatives significantly reduces total risk and unsystematic risk. However, the use of derivative does not have an effect on systematic risk. The use of derivatives increases firm value although this increase is not statistically significant. Overall, this dissertation finds evidence of risk reduction related to derivative usage but fails to establish the value premium that is created by derivative use.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to explore the prospects for small and medium enterprise (SME) development using inter-finn linkages between large and small finns in Kenya A wide range of strategies has been adopted already for the development of small enterprises globally, but limited use appears to have been made, outside Japan, of inter-finn linkages as a specific strategy. Despite the recent global movement towards inter-finn relationships as a strategy for achieving efficiency through the down-sizing of large finns, externalisation of activities, and adoption of lean production techniques, no attempt appears to have been made to use the strategy for SME development, possibly because little is known about how inter-finn linkages between large and small .finns are fonned. This thesis aims to con1ribute to the development of this understanding by using an inductive, qualitative research approach to explore the fuctors influencing the sourcing strategies of large finns in Kenya, to detennine whether these have some potential for SME development both in the country and more generally. The study focuses on the Kenyan vehicle assembly industry and examines, through in-depth case studies, the sourcing activities of three vehicle assembly plants and four franchise holders. Overnll, the research lends support to the argument that for various reasons largely related to m.arlcet failure, and a non-conducive business environment, large firms in Kenya's motor vehicle industIy are reluctant to outsource voluntarily from local small finns, and that when they do, relations appear to be arms-length and adversarial. The research also reveals that in the Kenyan environment, contrary to the arguments of transaction cost theory, outsourcing decisions are predicated on the need to comply with compulsory regulations in order to gain access to resources and m.arlcets, rather -than primarily on cost minimisation. Consequently, strategies which assure access to resources such as foreign exchange and impo.rt licenses were found to override purely efficiency considerations. The findings imply that although there are some prospects for SME development using this approach, the selection of small enterprises as suppliers by managers of large firms is limited by large firms' perceptions of the suitability of such suppliers, and that if SME development is to take place through such linkages, strategies which either change the image of small suppliers, or improve the attitudes oflarge buyers have to be adopted.

Meng, Qingrui. "Delayed credit rating changes, firm financing and firm performance." Thesis, Durham University, 2012. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/3426/.

Full text
Abstract:
Motivated by the insufficient research in understanding the influences of the delayed changes in credit ratings, the practical importance of information asymmetry as well as the theoretical difficulty of measuring information gap with an appropriate proxy, this thesis regards delayed credit rating change (DCRC) as a source of asymmetric information and exploits whether and how it affects issuer’s capital structure adjustments. It uses Compustat North America quarterly data from 1985 to 2010 inclusive. Rating agencies often delay updating credit ratings, leading to an information gap between bond issuers and the market. This offers issuers (market insiders) opportunities to utilise the delayed credit rating changes as superior information, alongside which, factors capturing the associated benefits and costs of the rating changes and capital structure adjustments, are addressed to form the three key interactive variables in this research: DCRC, capital structure adjustments and firm performance. First considered are the effects of information asymmetry on financing adjustment before DCRCs. The evidence shows that issuers often adjust debt and equity financing at least one quarter before rating change announcements published by rating agencies. Issuers who anticipate rating upgrades in the next quarter do not significantly change the net debt issuance. Issuers who anticipate rating downgrades increase net debt issuance before rating changes. Secondly, this research is concerned with the robustness of DCRC’s effects, which is confirmed by various robustness check tests and incorporating DCRC into tests of the existing capital structure theories. The result confirms DCRC’s robust effects on firm financing adjustments. The last issue addressed is the relation between information asymmetry and gains or losses to issuers when utilising the information asymmetry. The results suggest that information asymmetry does bring material effects on firm performance. The three groups of results form a mechanism of delayed credit rating change’s real effects and reveal a fresh explanation for issuer’s financing decision making under asymmetric information.

This thesis seeks to examine the difference between manufacturing and service firms with respect to the effects of knowledge on performance, and the influence of market turbulence in this relationship. Empirical data, resulting from a survey, was collected from more than 1,206 firms, involving several sectors. Two samples were analyzed, one with 334 manufacturing and other with 509 service firms. The findings indicate no significant difference in the importance of knowledge on performance between these sectors in the absence of market turbulence: knowledge development (KD) has a stronger effect than culture of competitiveness (CC) on firm performance. However, under market turbulence, manufacturers differ from service providers. The positive effect of KD is enhanced, while the positive effect of CC remains the same for manufacturing firms. On the other hand, the positive effect of KD is diminished, while the positive effect of CC is enhanced for service firms. This supports the argument concerning differences in the nature of manufacturing and service industries. From a managerial point of view, results confirm the importance of knowledge, irrespective of firm sector or market turbulence. However, while industrial firms should center efforts on KD, service firms must find a balance where knowledge development (e.g. norms, processes, routines) does not impair their culture of competitiveness (e.g. learning, innovation, action). The thesis contributes to existing literature by proposing that: (1) the positive effect of knowledge on performance is confirmed; (2) under turbulent markets manufacturing and service firms have different responses concerning the influence of knowledge on performance; (3) a multidimensional performance construct based on cost, profitability, and growth is an interesting way to evaluate firm sustained competitive advantage, rather than one-dimensional constructs; (4) the CC x KD interaction, found relevant for supply chains in previous studies, is not supported for firms; (5) differences in unit of analysis, e.g. from supply chains to firms, result in different effects of KD and CC on firm performance; (6) existing scales can be improved with the addition of more diverse indicators, capturing a wider range of concepts (e.g. information transfer measurement); and (7) results from previous studies are supported for Brazilian firms, contributing for theory generalization.

Abstract:
This cross-sectional study employs resource-based view and resource dependence theories to examine the determinants of access to external finance at firm-level and the effect of access to external finance on performance of 328 agri-food firms. Applying binary logistic regression, results indicate that firm age, ownership, sources of financing, and firm location were significant predictors of access to external finance. The effect of access to external finance on firm performance analyzed using linear regression was positive and significant. Therefore, firm-specific characteristics are crucial in the decision to access external finance. Access is easier for older firms in small cities that rely on informal sources of financing. Family firms are more vulnerable to external finance than non-family firms. Furthermore, access to external financing is associated with better firm performance. The findings of this study are useful for managers making financing decisions and for stakeholders involved in micro and small enterprises financing.

Full text
Abstract:
Intra-firm trade, from parents to affiliates, has been combined with standard models of multinational production (MP) to deliver gravity-style predictions for foreign affiliates' sales. Nonetheless, the evidence shows that intra-firm trade is concentrated among a small set of large multinational firms. Using firm-level data from 35 countries, we document that only firms belonging to multinational corporations (MNCs) in the upper tail of the firms size distribution are significantly affected by the distance to their parents. We present a simple framework featuring MNCs selection into intra-firm trade and derive the analytical gravity equations that are consistent with the empirical findings.

Full text
Abstract:
Credit has been found to be a catalyst for economic growth, as it spurs investment, enhances productivity, allows costs to be spread out over time, improves resource allocation, and enables investors to cope better with macroeconomic volatility. Most studies focus on the relationship between financial development and growth at the country level, while few analyze the relationship at the firm level. Using a panel-shaped firm-level dataset of Colombian firms and employing the methodology developed by Love and Zicchino (2006), this paper examines whether the response of firms to financial and real shocks varies according to firm size and across different levels of firm productivity. The study finds that financial shocks have a significant positive impact on firm growth, which is larger for larger firms and more productive firms that export. The results indicate that something is preventing smaller firms from taking full advantage of access to external financing.

Abstract:
We examine the innovation and competitiveness of firms, especially with regard to the channels of technology transfer and the nature of innovation activities that influence firm performance in Cambodia's economy. Despite the growing importance of innovation, there has been no empirical analysis of the factors affecting technological and innovative development and the impact that these factors have on firms’ productivity in Cambodia. We use the World Bank Enterprise Survey for Cambodian enterprises for our empirical implementation. The results of the research indicate that overseas linkages that include both upstream and downstream activities could affect productivity growth at both firm and industry levels. We also find that technology and innovation have a positive impact on the productivity of firms in Cambodia.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper documents the relationship between regional financial development and firm growth in the Peruvian manufacturing sector. In order to control for mutual causality between credit availability and firm growth, industry differences in financial dependence on external funds are exploited. The 1994 and 2008 rounds of the National Economic Census are used, permitting analysis at the firm level as well as the activity level. Results suggest a significant and positive effect of financial deepening on surviving firms` growth. However, this effect is smaller for micro enterprises, suggesting that the cost of external funding decreases with financial development mainly for large firms. The conclusions remain unchanged when entering and exiting firms are included. The paper further finds that credit expansion have encouraged not only firm growth but also firm entry. The results are robust using an alternative measure of financial dependence.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents empirical evidence on the nature of idiosyncratic shocks to firms and discusses its role for firm behavior and aggregate fluctuations. We document that firm-level sales and productivity are hit by heavy-tailed shocks and follow a nonlinear stochastic process, thus departing from the canonical linear. We estimate a state-of-the-art model to flexibly capture the rich dynamics uncovered in the data and characterize the drivers of nonlinear persistence and non-Gaussian shocks. We show that these features are crucial to get empirically plausible volatility and persistence of micro-originated (granular) aggregate fluctuations.

Alvarez, Roberto, and Andrés Zahler. Export Mix Changes and Firm Performance: Evidence from Chile. Inter-American Development Bank, April 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0011637.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper we analyze changes in the export mix of Chilean firms, looking particularly at differences between large firms and SMEs. To do that, we use detailed information of exported products by firms during the period 1995-2005. Our econometric results, which look at the impact of export product churning on firm performance, are heterogeneous by type of change inexport mix and by firm size. In general, export mix changes are associated with improvements on productivity, although our results suggest that this positive effect is only for SMEs. In terms of employment and sales, we find that export product churning has positive effect on large firms and lower - and in some case negative - on SMEs. It seems that changes in export mix are more important for firm growth in large firms, but not in terms of productivity. In contrast, SMEs can have a higher potential for productivity improvement through export product churning but this does not translate necessarily in significant increase in sales and employment.
