本文研究了企业通过进入出口市场提高生产率的出口学习效应。利用中国企业层面的数据，我们发现，规模经济和生产技术的选择在缩小出口和企业绩效之间的差距方面发挥了重要作用。通过对样本进行分层并考虑因果关系，我们发现，为了利用规模经济，生产量大的企业，资本密集程度高的企业，为了从世界市场吸收以资本品为主的新知识和信息，更容易产生出口学习效应。
This paper studies the learning-by-exporting effect through which a firm increases its productivity by entering into the export market. Using Chinese firm-level data, we show that economies of scale and the choice of production technology play an important role in bridging the gap between exporting and firm performance. By stratifying samples and considering causality, we find that the learning-by-exporting effect is more likely to occur for firms that produce large amounts of outputs to exploit scale economies and, at the same time, are highly capital intensive, so that they can absorb new knowledge and information, which are basically embodied in capital goods, from world markets.
