| Title | Exports and Firm Performance: Case of Hungarian Manufacturing |
| Summary | The aim of my thesis is to analyze the relationship between firm performance and participation in exporting activity. The superior characteristics of exporters compared to non-exporters are widely discussed in the literature. However, it is still a important to study the causal links between exporting and firm performance. In my research I focus on testing self-selection and learning by exporting hypotheses on a dataset of Hungarian manufacturing firms for the period of 1986-2005. I analyze exporting effect for different types of ownerships. I find evidence of self-selection into exporting market and evidence of learning by doing effect in the long run. I find that state owned and foreign owned firms benefit from exporting less than domestically owned firms. |
