“…15 Moreover, there is a body of literature that emphasizes the role of trade in facilitating the transmission of knowledge and productivity growth across countries. The empirical analysis of Coe et al (1997) and Amiti and Konings (2007) emphasizes the role of imports while Blalock and Gertler (2004), Park et al (2010), Van Biesebroeck (2005) in China, and by Manjón et al (2013) in Spain, for micro evidence focus on the role of exports.…”

A B S T R A C TWe study the response of a three-sector commodity-exporter small open economy to a commodity price boom. When the economy has access to international borrowing and lending, a temporary commodity price boom brings about the standard wealth effect that stimulates demand and has long-run implications on the sectoral allocation of labor. If dynamic productivity gains are concentrated in the traded good sector, the commodity boom crowds out the traded sector and delays convergence to the world technology frontier. Financial openness by stimulating current demand, amplifies the crowding out effect and may even lead to a growth trap, in which no resources are allocated to the traded sector. From a normative point of view, our analysis suggests that capital account management policies could be welfare improving in those circumstances.

“…Model 2 are low if we compare them with the estimates obtained by Manjón et al (2013) for Spain and De Loecker (2007) for Slovenia, who estimate productivity in a similar manner and also use matching methods for testing LBE. In particular, for periods (t+s), with s = 1, 2, 3 and 4, Manjón et al (2013) cumulative EPG estimates are 3.6, 5.4, 10.8 and 14.4%, respectively, whereas those in De Loecker (2007) for (t+s), with s = 1, 2, 3 and 4, are 14.7, 27.3, 41.4 and 30.6%, respectively.…”

“…This joint estimation strategy has the advantages of increasing efficiency relatively to two-step procedures, making unnecessary bootstrapping for the calculus of standard errors, and also solving the identification problem of the labour coefficient in the first estimation step (noted by Ackerberg et al, 2006). However, our methodological procedure in this paper is closer to the one in Manjón et al (2013) for Spanish firms. Although Van Biesebroeck (2005) and De Loecker (2013) also provide evidence from developing countries, Manjón et al (2013) do provide evidence from a developed country.…”

Abstract This paper explores the link between exports and total factor productivity (TFP) for Brazilian manufacturing firms over the period [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008], both under the assumption of an exogenous or an endogenous law of motion for productivity. The authors first obtain TFP estimates under each alternative assumption following Wooldridge (On estimating firm-level production functions using proxy variables to control for unobservables, 2009) GMM procedure. Second, using stochastic dominance techniques they analyse whether the ex-ante most productive firms are those that start exporting (self-selection hypothesis). Finally, the authors test whether exporting boosts firms TFP growth (learning-by-exporting hypothesis) using matching techniques, to control for the possibility that selection into exports may not be a random process. Their results confirm the self-selection hypothesis and show that starting to export yields firms an extra TFP growth that emerges since the first year exporting but lasts only from this year to the next. Further, this extra TFP growth is much higher under the assumption of an endogenous law of motion for productivity, which reinforces the importance of accounting for firm export status to study the evolution of productivity.

COVID‐19's impacts on business activities and female workers: Empirical evidence from global developing economies

This paper empirically examines the economic impacts of COVID‐19 on firms' business activities and female workers in 10 developing economies around the world. Based on a survey conducted by the World Bank, we constructed a firm‐level panel dataset and investigated how firms' production and finances have developed during COVID‐19. We also investigated female workers' employment situations and how they were affected by firm performance. COVID‐19 indeed casted seriously adverse impacts in the developing world. As time passes, firms' production has been recovering, but their finances are worsening, and the female workers are facing worse situations in forms of higher probabilities of losing jobs and getting furloughed. Other variables such as workforce, capacity utilisation, and exports also play important roles in this process.
