Abstract

Abstract Using a novel dataset we examine the pricing behavior of Indian exporters, in particular looking at the relationship between export prices and the quality of imported inputs that firms use, conditioning on firm capability (productivity). Exporting firms that directly import are different in important ways from exporters that do not import directly. Among directly importing exporters, higher quality (higher price) imports are associated with higher quality (higher price) exports. In this respect, Indian exporters behave similarly to other developing country exporters, offering suggestive evidence of the importance for export success of access to high-quality imports.

印度企业异质性、进口投入质量与出口定价

使用一个新的数据集，我们研究了印度出口商的定价行为，特别是关注出口价格与企业使用的进口投入品质量之间的关系，这取决于企业的能力(生产率)。直接进口的出口企业与不直接进口的出口企业在许多重要方面是不同的。在直接进口的出口商中，高质量(高价格)的进口与高质量(高价格)的出口相关联。在这方面，印度出口商的行为与其他发展中国家出口商相似，提供了暗示性的证据，证明获得高质量进口产品对出口成功的重要性。
