“…However, due to data limitations we are unable to use the latter. We therefore employ the former due to its wide use and also ease of computation given our data (Amin, ; Buccirossi et al, ; Syverson, 2011). We compute labour productivity as total sales divided by the number of full‐time employees .…”

Using firm‐level data from 139 countries, this paper investigates the effect of competition in both the domestic and foreign markets on firm productivity and export decisions. Applying a sample selection endogenous treatment (SSET) Poisson model that tackles both the issue of endogenous sample selection and endogenous treatment at the same time, we document robust evidence that strong competition in the domestic market propels firms to be more productive, and decreasing domestic competition increases firms’ propensity to export. However, firms’ export intensity (i.e. how much they export) is not directly influenced by competition in the domestic market. Moreover, lower competition in the foreign market increases the propensity of domestic firms to export, enlarging the set of exporting firms to include firms with relatively smaller export amounts.

“…The spectrum of the analysis tends to be varied among the studies. Amin (2015) focuses on the impact of competition degree on the output productivity of India's retail stores. In contrast, Olper et al (2014) analyze the import competition effect on productivity growth of nine food industries in the EU.…”

“…Castellani et al (2019) are among those points out the significant role of R&D in boosting productivity. Amin (2015) points out the pivotal role of competition in enhancing firms' productivity, while Ding & Niu (2019) add that market share should not be neglected when observing firms' productivity. This current research contributes to the productivity literature by including R&D, competition, and market share in the estimation of firm-level productivity in Indonesian chemical industry.…”

“…The contribution is twofold. Firstly, it estimates simultaneously the R&D, competition, and market share on productivity using three-panel data methods, adapting the models of Castellani et al (2019), Amin (2015), Ding & Niu (2019). Secondly, it focuses on a homogenous and capital-intensive sector of the chemical industry in Indonesia, which providing a robust estimation result and developing high R&D activities.…”

“…The surveys use standardized survey instruments, making data from different countries comparable, and have been used in a number of firm‐level research in developing economy contexts (e.g. Amin, , ; Eiferf et al., ; Bhaumik and Dimova, , ). We pool together cross‐section data sets from countries that were surveyed between 2002 and 2005.…”

There is a large and growing literature on the impact of institutional quality on economic performance and the broad consensus is that "good" institutions facilitate better economic performance. The literature that provides micro-level support for the policy discourse about institutional quality does not, however, account for significant intra-country variation in reactions of firms to changes in business environments, even within the same industry, and it generally ignores the possibility that the impact of institutional quality on firm performance may not be neutral. In this paper, we analyze the impact of institutions on firm performance using an approach that enables us to overcome these problems with the stylized approach. Using cross-country firm-level data, we demonstrate that not only does the marginal impact of institutional quality vary significantly within countries, but also that the impact is economically significant only at the two extremes of the distribution. We view this as prima facie evidence that policies that tinker with institutional quality on the basis of the popular wisdom about the impact of these institutions on the average firm may not have the desired or expected impact, at least at the micro level.
