Abstrakt
This paper employs firm-level panel data from the Czech Republic to investigate the empirical relevance of the learning-by-exporting hypothesis. To provide convincing estimates, one must be able to disentangle learning-by-exporting from changes in company management that induce the company to both start exporting and introduce productivity increasing measures.
The results suggest that learning-by-exporting in the Czech Republic is not significant, either statistically or economically, irrespective of the method used.
