| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates how international business and innovation activities improve the productivity of firms, using the large-scale firm- or plant-level datasets underlying various government surveys for Japan. The findings are as follows. First, Japanese firms improve their productivity after starting exporting, suggestign the existence of learning by exporting effects. Second, firms with international activities are much more efficient in innovation than firms with only domestic activities. Third, export starters are more likely to add and drop products within a plant than never exporters. Added products tend to have higher product attributes than dropped products, suggesting that these product compositional changes are associated with productivity growth of export starters.
