“…As there are no considerable differences in the business environment, culture, and language, the need to apply specific advantages in foreign production is lower for this group of investors. This is in line with the proximity effects found in the related studies (Atici et al, 2011; Castillo et al, 2016). Investors from developed countries, on the other hand, likely rely on such specific advantages in making their production export competitive.…”

In this study, we examine how foreign direct investment affects agricultural firms' exporting decisions. We investigate this by using a Tobit model of export intensity, estimated on the sample of 104 Serbian agricultural firms observed in the period 2014–2017. In particular, we considered both direct and indirect export effects of foreign direct investment. The results indicate that foreign ownership positively affects firms' export intensity. Furthermore, we find that the effect is conditional on the origin of foreign capital, the strongest effects being associated with capital coming from bordering countries. Finally, the results show that the indirect effects of foreign direct investment on export are mainly negative. The results imply that agricultural firms which are a part of the system of multinational enterprises have lower costs of exporting, due to their reliance on international distribution networks and the information on foreign markets provided by the parent companies. In contrast, the costs of production for the local firms could be increased due to the intensive competition by the foreign affiliates. This means that foreign direct investment has the potential to improve the export performances of host‐country agricultural firms. However, to realize their full potential, a sufficient absorptive capacity of the local firms is required. [EconLit Citations: F21, F23, Q17].

In this study, a sectoral export determination equation of Turkey is estimated using a very detailed panel data of 1,029 sectors in SITC Rev 3 four digit level for the period 1995-2015. In addition to standard export determination variables; the variables showing technology and sophistication level of the export products of Turkey were included among the independent variables; using both some traditional classification measures (Lall (2000), Oxford Development Studies, 2, 100-109) and a new measure developed by Hidalgo et al., (2009), "The Building Blocks of Economic Complexity." Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 106(26): 10570-10575. Moreover, also some indicators of competitiveness in world markets were included among independent variables. Method of estimation is augmented mean group, which takes into consideration cross sectional dependencies and parameter heterogeneities. Results of the regression suggest that product quality and design are becoming more important and price competition becomes less important in gaining competitive edge in world markets for Turkey.There is a transition of Turkey's exports towards medium technology products.
