本文利用覆盖日本所有制造业的大型企业层面数据，在不设企业规模门槛的情况下，考察了企业内部研发强度和外部网络渠道与企业出口决策的关系。内部研发并不是出口的唯一决定因素，但它与科学部门的出口密切相关。与其他公司就联合项目和海外子公司的业务开展合作与大型公司的出口密切相关，而与商业协会的联系和研发强度则是小型公司出口的关键。与计算机网络连接的影响较弱。
This paper examines how internal R&D intensity and external networking channels are related with the firm's export decision, based on a large firm-level data set covering all manufacturing industries in Japan without any firm-size threshold. Internal R&D is not the only determinant of exporting, while it is strongly related with exports in the science-based sector. Collaborations with other firms on joint projects and operations of subsidiaries overseas are significantly linked to exports of large-sized firms, while affiliations with business associations and R&D intensity are critical for small-sized firms to export. Connections with computer networks have a weaker impact.
