出口强度、吸收能力与中国出口企业生产率

Export Intensity,Absorptive Capacity and Chinese Export Enterprise Productivity

笔者采用2001年~2007年中国工业企业微观面板数据,基于所有制、资本密集度、企业规模等企业异质性,探索出口强度、吸收能力与生产率之间的关系。研究结果表明:中国出口企业存在生产率优势,但出口强度与生产率呈倒U型关系,一方面纯出口企业拉低了出口企业的整体水平,另一方面短期内负的学习效应导致生产率下降。吸收能力则有利于企业生产率的提高,对出口活动具有正向调节效应,即当吸收能力较强时,随着企业出口强度的增加,生产率有所提升。

Based on a micro-level panel data from 2001 to 2007,this paper analyzes the relationship between export intensity,absorptive capacity and productivity of Chinese exporters on firm-level heterogeneity. Our empirical study shows that Chinese exporters are more productive than non-exporters. More interestingly, exporters’ total factor productivity presents an inverted U-shape with the export in-tensity. Furthermore,we find exporters’ absorptive capacity will enhance their productivity and has a positive moderate effect on the re-lationship of export intensity and productivity.
