International Trade and Firm Performance: A Survey of Empirical Studies since 2006

Research output: Contributions to collected editions/worksChapterpeer-review

Authors

The literature on international trade and firm performance grows exponentially. This chapter attempts to summarize what we learn from this literature to guide future empirical and theoretical work in this area. The focus is on the empirical part of the literature that consists of recently published papers using data for firms from manufacturing or services industries to study the links between international trade (exports and imports) and dimensions of firm performance (productivity, wages, profitability and survival).
