Exports as an indicator on or promoter of successful Swedish manufacturing firms in the 1990s
Article Abstract:
The study stated the link between exports and productivity at the firm level. It was found that Swedish exporting manufacturing firms are substantially more productive than nonexporting firms within the same industry after having taken firm characteristics, such as factor intensities and size. The result also suggested that exporters-mainly more globally committed exporters have higher output growth than non exporters.
