Resumo: | This investigation work examines the causality link between exporting and firms’ performance. Using a panel within the time span 1997 – 2007, it is done an assessment to the Portuguese manufacturing industry on the existence of the learning by exporting against the existence of self-selection in terms of international trade. This study provides therefore evidence of coexistence of these two streams, rather than supporting the existence of only one of them individually by excluding the other. This investigation thus suggests that firms can freely choose to enter in the exporting market, increasing their productivity levels ex-ante the exporting process in order to be able to properly compete on it, while subsequently learn from the exporting process through the knowledge stocks that it gives them access to which leads them to an improvement of their performance. This way it is pointed out the need be identify a theoretical framework that aim at a superior level than the existing one. |

Recorrendo a um painel de dados no período temporal 1997 – 2007, é feito um teste à indústria transformadora portuguesa contrapondo a existência de aprendizagem pela exportação com a existência de auto-seleção das empresas em termos de comércio internacional. Este estudo fornece evidência da coexistência destas duas abordagens teóricas, em vez de apenas apoiar a existência de uma delas por exclusão da outra. Assim, esta investigação sugere que as empresas podem entrar por livre arbítrio no mercado de exportação, melhorando os seus níveis de produtividade antes do processo de exportação de forma a poderem competir adequadamente no mesmo, enquanto subsequentemente aprendem com o processo de exportar através das reservas de conhecimento a que vão acedendo, o que leva a uma melhoria do seu desempenho. Desta forma aponta-se claramente para a necessidade de se identificar um corpo teórico de nível superior ao existente presentemente.Universidade de Aveiro2016-03-14T16:54:14Z2014-01-01T00:00:00Z2014info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/15286TID:201566621engPereira, Ângela Gonçalves Dos Santosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:28:16Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/15286Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:50:41.264674Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
