摘要

摘要本文估计了进口投入、出口和双向贸易对生产率的影响。这包括利用加纳制造业公司的面板数据，探讨吸收能力在潜在关系中的作用。结果表明，出口和进口企业在短期内同时提高生产力的能力在很大程度上取决于技术工人比例所体现的吸收能力。双向贸易商学习先前出口经验和吸收先前使用进口投入产生的研发溢出效应以在短期内提高生产力的能力取决于吸收能力。

Exports, Imported Inputs, Two-way Trade, and Productivity: The Role of Absorptive Capacity

ABSTRACT This article estimates the effects of imported inputs, exporting, and two-way trade on productivity. This includes exploring the role of absorptive capacity in the underlying relationships using panel data from manufacturing firms in Ghana. The results show that the ability of firms that both export and import to enhance productivity contemporaneously in the short term depends critically on absorptive capacity as captured by the proportion of skilled workers. The ability of two-way traders to learn from prior exporting experience and assimilate R&D spillovers from prior use of imported inputs to enhance productivity in the short term depends on absorptive capacity.
