Book excerpt: This paper examines the relationship between productivity of a manufacturing plant and its participation in exporting activities. There are 2 possible explanations for a positive relationship between the two. First, higher productivity and higher efficiency may be required if plants are to enter export markets. Second, by exporting, plants may learn of superior technologies and management techniques and increase their productivity. The paper examines both possibilities. It also examines differences in the effect of exporting on productivity between foreign- and domestic-controlled plants, and between young and older plants.

Book excerpt: This paper examines how Canadian manufacturing plants have responded to reductions in tariff barriers between Canada and the rest of the world over the past 2 decades. The 1st part of the paper examines the relationship between tariff reductions and the decision to enter the export market using a longitudinal sample of manufacturing plants in Canada. The 2nd part examines how this export decision relates to productivity growth and innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines how trade liberalization and fluctuations in real exchange rates affect export-market entry/exit and plant-level productivity. It uses the experience of Canadian manufacturing plants over three separate periods that feature different rates of bilateral tariff reductions and differing movements in bilateral real exchange rates. As part of its investigation of entry and exit dynamics, the paper also revisits the question of whether export-market participation leads to better productivity performance.--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper asks whether research and development (R&D) drives the level of competitiveness required to successfully enter export markets and whether, in turn, participation in export markets increases R&D expenditures. Canadian non-exporters that subsequently entered export markets in the first decade of the 2000s are found to be not only larger and more productive, as has been reported for previous decades, but also more likely to have invested in R&D. Both extramural R&D expenditures (purchased from domestic and foreign suppliers) and intramural R&D expenditures (performed in-house) increase the ability of firms to penetrate export markets. Exporting also has a significant impact on subsequent R&D expenditures; exporters are more likely to start investing in R&D. Firms that began exporting increased the intensity of extramural R&D expenditures in the year in which exporting occurred"--Abstract.

Book excerpt: She has published extensively in the areas of productivity, international trade, firm dynamics, exchange rates, labour markets and the income distribution, in academic journals that include the Scandinavian Journal of Economics, Canadian Journal of Economics and Journal of Economics and Management Strategy. [...] Global Value Chain Participation and the Productivity of Canadian Manufacturing Firms 3 The second key contribution of this chapter is to document the pathways by which Canadian firms enter and exit GVCs, and to disentangle the contribu- tions made by exporting versus importing. [...] Their estimate of the complementarities between the fixed costs of importing and exporting suggests that "a firm can save between 7 and 26 percent of the per-per- iod fixed costs and sunk costs associated with trade by simultaneously engaging in both export and import activities" (305, emphasis added). [...] Although there is growing evidence of the positive productivity effects of exporting and of importing at the country, industry, and firm-level - as well as some initial work on the complementarities between the two activities on firm performance - the literature has not extensively examined joint exporting and importing activities at the firm level. [...] Data Description and Preliminary Analysis our analysis uses several miCro-datasets that Contain detailed information on the characteristics, performance and imports and exports of Canadian Global Value Chain Participation and the Productivity of Canadian Manufacturing Firms 5 manufacturing firms.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the contribution that foreign-controlled plants make to the Canadian manufacturing sector by examining both whether foreign-controlled producers exhibit superior performance and whether their productivity growth spills over to domestic plants. In the first section, the performance of foreign-controlled plants is compared with domestic-controlled plants, using a variety of measures that include value added & gross output per worker, research & development, and technology used. The paper then asks whether foreign-controlled plants differ from those domestic producers that have foreign operations. The third section starts by measuring the contribution of foreign multinational enterprises to labour productivity growth in the Canadian manufacturing sector, then compares the importance of the contribution made by foreign-controlled plants to productivity growth in the 1990s to their contribution in the 1980s. At issue here is whether the relative importance of Canada as a destination for foreign direct investment declined during the 1990s as a result of two free trade agreements. Finally, the paper examines the following: whether productivity growth of domestic producers is higher when the market share of foreign producers is larger; the existence of a subset of domestic plants that benefits more from spillovers originating in foreign-controlled plants; and the presence of two mechanisms that generate spillovers: enhanced competition and the more intense use of advanced technologies by domestic firms.

Book excerpt: This paper examines two potential benefits of foreign-controlled plants in the Canadian manufacturing sector: the superior performance of foreign-controlled plants and their productivity spillovers to domestic plants. The paper finds that foreign-controlled plants are more productive, more innovative, more technology intensive, pay higher wages and use more skilled workers. This foreign-ownership advantage is found to be a multinational advantage. What matters for economic performance is whether plants belong to multinational enterprises (MNEs) rather than ownership per se. Canadian multinationals are as productive as foreign multinationals. We also find that MNEs have accounted for a disproportionately large share of productivity growth in the last two decades. Finally, we find robust evidence for productivity spillovers from foreign-controlled plants to domestic-controlled plants arising from increased competition and greater use of new technologies among domestic plants.
