| Research Abstract |
Whether or not exports and foreign direct investment contribute to enhance the international competitiveness of the firms is an important question for both Japanese business circles and policy makers. This research project attempts to answer this question, using firm-level data and trade data. We examined the characteristics of the firms which enter into the export market and/or start foreign direct investment. Our project also examined whether or not the performance of firms improved after firm start exporting and/or foreign direct investment.
