Abstract

This study aims to identify the role of exports in improving the productivity of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. We exploit the firm-level panel dataset from the Vietnam SME Survey between 2009 and 2014. This remarkable period occurred two years after Vietnam’s accession to the World Trade Organization. Hence, for the first time, the learning-by-exporting hypothesis was tested for a case study of SMEs in developing countries in the context of international trade integration, such as Vietnam. By applying the propensity score matching method, our results are as follows. First, we find strong evidence that SMEs in Vietnam could improve their productivity when exporting during the studied period. Second, exports have a significant impact on the productivity of SMEs in non-municipal areas of Vietnam. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are suggested for stimulating the productivity of SMEs in developing countries. In particular, SMEs in non-municipal provinces might need more favorable policies to boost export activities.
出口学习检测的修正:来自越南中小企业的经验证据
本研究旨在确定出口在提高越南中小企业(SMEs)生产率方面的作用。我们利用了2009年至2014年越南中小企业调查的公司层面面板数据集。这段非凡的时期发生在越南加入世界贸易组织两年后。因此,在越南等发展中国家的中小企业的国际贸易一体化背景下,出口学习假说首次得到了检验。运用倾向得分匹配方法,我们得到的结果如下:首先,我们发现强有力的证据表明,在研究期间,越南中小企业在出口时可以提高其生产率。其次,出口对越南非城市地区中小企业的生产率有显著影响。根据这些发现,提出了刺激发展中国家中小企业生产力的政策建议。特别是,非直辖市的中小企业可能需要更优惠的政策来促进出口活动。
