Do Non-exporting Plants Benefit from Exporting Peer Plants?

초록

This study examines indirect spillover effects at plant level within firms by analyzing the performance of non-exporting plants with exporting peer plants by using Korean plant-firm matched data from 2007 to 2013. Our results show that there are no significant differences in growth between non-exporting plants and their exporting peer plants in the same firms, whereas significant differences exist among non-exporting plants depending on whether their peers export. This implies that exporting peer plants are important channels through which non-exporting plants benefit within a firm.
