Abstract

This paper uses comparable firm level data from France, Italy and Spain to test a hypothesis derived by Bustos (AER 2011) in a model that explains the decision of heterogeneous firms to export and to engage in R&D. Using a non-parametric test for first order stochastic dominance it is shown that, in line with this hypothesis, the productivity distribution of firms with exports and R&D dominates that of exporters without R&D, which in turn dominates that of firms that neither export nor engage in R&D. These results are in line with findings for Argentina reported by Bustos, and with findings for Germany and Denmark. The model, therefore, seems to be useful to guide empirical work on the relation between exports, R&D and productivity.

出口、研发与生产率:基于法国、意大利和西班牙企业数据的busstos模型检验

本文使用来自法国、意大利和西班牙的可比企业层面数据来检验Bustos (AER 2011)在一个模型中提出的假设，该模型解释了异质企业出口和从事研发的决策。使用一阶随机优势的非参数检验表明，根据这一假设，有出口和研发的企业的生产率分布优于没有研发的出口商，而没有研发的出口商又优于既不出口也不从事研发的企业。这些结果与布斯托斯报告的阿根廷调查结果一致，也与德国和丹麦的调查结果一致。因此，该模型似乎有助于指导出口、研发和生产率之间关系的实证研究。

期刊介绍： The Economic Bulletin is an open-access letters journal founded in 2001 with the mission of providing free and extremely rapid scientific communication across the entire community of research economists. EB publishes original notes, comments, and preliminary results. We are especially interested in publishingmanuscripts that keep the profession informed about on-going research programs. Our publication standard is that a manuscript be original, correct and of interest to a specialist. Submissions in these categories are refereed and our objective is to make a decision within two months. Accepted papers are published immediately. It is expected that in many cases, manuscripts published in these categories will form the foundation for more complete works to besubsequently submitted to other journals. In all cases, submissions are restricted to seven printed pages exclusive of references, tables, figures, and appendices, and must be in PDF format. EB also publishes non-refereed letters to the editor, conference announcements and research announcements.
