我们提出了一个两阶段理论模型，该模型认为新兴经济体企业（EEF）的出口绩效将取决于其企业特定能力及其本国制度环境。具体来说，我们认为，当国内面临更大的政治不稳定、大量非正式竞争和严重腐败等不确定性时，欧洲经济框架更有可能进行出口。此外，我们假设企业的出口强度将取决于专业的内部能力，例如熟练的劳动力、高层管理经验和外部技术的获取。我们使用来自四个金砖四国经济体（即巴西、俄罗斯、中国和印度）的 16,000 多家公司的数据集来测试这些假设。我们的研究结果证实，政治不稳定和非正式竞争对EEF的出口倾向有重大影响，而出口强度则取决于熟练工人的可用性以及通过许可获得外部技术的机会。
We advance a two-stage theoretical model which contends that the export performance of emerging economy firms (EEFs) will depend both upon their firm-specific capabilities and their home institutional environments. Specifically, we argue that EEFs will be more likely to export when facing more uncertainty at home from greater political instability, substantial informal competition, and high corruption. Furthermore, we hypothesize that firms’ export intensities will be contingent upon specialized internal capabilities such as a skilled workforce, top managerial experience, and access to external technologies. We test these hypotheses using a dataset of more than 16,000 firms from the four BRIC economies (i.e., Brazil, Russia, China and India). Our results confirm that political instability and informal competition have robust effects on the export propensity of EEFs, whilst export intensity is contingent upon the availability of skilled workers and access to external technologies via licensing.
