目的-本文的目的是分析创新对企业出口行为的作用。设计/方法/途径-使用两波瑞典社区创新调查与企业层面的注册数据合并，作者估计了企业的创新产出和创新投入对其出口倾向和出口强度的影响。结果-作者发现，企业的创新产出（以创新产品的销售额衡量）对它们随后的出口行为，特别是对出口强度有积极和显著的影响。创新投入（创新努力）对出口行为没有直接影响。独创性/价值-这是第一篇明确区分创新过程的投入和产出部分，并实证研究其对整个经济中具有代表性的企业样本的出口行为的差异化影响的论文。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of innovation on the export behavior of firms.Design/methodology/approach - Using two waves of Swedish Community Innovation Survey merged with register data on firm-level, the authors estimate the influence of the innovation output and innovation input of firms on their export propensity and intensity.Findings - The authors find that the innovation output of firms (measured as sales due to innovative products) has a positive and significant effect on their subsequent export behavior, particularly on export intensity. The results also show that there is no direct effect of innovation input (innovative efforts) on export behavior.Originality/value - This is one of the first paper that clearly distinguishes between input and output parts of innovation process and empirically investigate their differentiated impact on export behavior of a representative sample of firms in an entire economy.
