Learning to export

چکیده
There is strong evidence that exporting firms are better. This correlation can potentially arise from many alternative casual models. In this paper, we utilise the natural experiments offered by transitioning into export in a dataset of Indian firms from 1990 to 2011, where each firm which made the transition is matched against one which did not. While exporting firms become bigger, there is no evidence that they improve productivity. On the other hand, we find a rise in productivity in the year prior to embarking on export. Indian firms learn to export. JEL Classification: F43, L1, D24
