Financing Constraints, Export Decisions, and Aggregate productivity
We develop a dynamic industry model with heterogeneous firms and we analyse how financing frictions affect export decisions and industry equilibrium. We show that, in the presence of costly bankruptcy, future expected financing frictions have a strong impact on current export decisions. We use this model to analyse firm dynamics in a sector that opens up to trade. We show that future expected f...
متن کاملFinancing Constraints, Firm Dynamics, Export Decisions, and Aggregate Productivity
We present a dynamic model in which firms accumulate wealth to avoid bankruptcy and to overcome financing constraints that affect their fixed operational costs and the costs of becoming an exporter. Financing constraints not only affect firms directly when they are binding, but also indirectly, through precautionary saving and the selection of firms via entry and exit of the domestic and export...
متن کاملConcurrent engineering performance: Incremental versus radical innovation
This article analyzes the link between the use of concurrent engineering (CE) and success in new product development (NPD) under varying conditions of uncertainty and complexity—radical versus incremental innovations. Using linear regression, the results obtained indicate that overlapping activities, inter-functional integration and teamwork positively affect NPD performance in terms of develop...
متن کاملSpecialization, Productivity, and Financing Constraints
We analyze optimal financial contracts when the specificity of investments is endogenous. Specialization decreases the liquidation value of assets, but improves the asset’s long-term productivity. While the former is known to make financing more difficult, we show that the latter can ease financing constraints and increase financing capacity by improving an entrepreneur’s incentive to repay. Th...
متن کاملFamily Financing and Aggregate Manufacturing Productivity in Ghana
Family nancing through loans for investment or intermediate input purchases may allow relatively unproductive rms to stay in the market, reducing average productivity in the economy. To quantify this e¤ect, I estimate a dynamic model of rm behavior using data from the Ghanaian Manufacturing Survey 1991-2002. A counterfactual analysis with no family nancing indicates an average productivity ...
