本文以不设企业规模门槛的日本所有制造业的企业层面数据为基础，对生产率随全球化模式的变化进行了实证分析。只有一小部分公司外包、出口或在国外投资。外国外包商和出口商的生产率往往低于从事外国直接投资或多种全球化模式的公司，但高于国内公司。这种生产率排序是稳健的，即使企业规模，要素密集度，和/或行业的控制。本文还发现，外包商的平均资本密集度低于其他全球化公司。
This paper documents how productivity varies with globalization modes, based on a firm-level data set covering all manufacturing industries in Japan without any firm-size threshold. Only a small fraction of firms outsource, export, or invest abroad. Foreign outsourcers and exporters tend to be less productive than the firms active in FDI or in multiple globalization modes but more productive than domestic firms. This productivity ordering is robust even when firm size, factor intensity, and/or industry are controlled for. This paper also finds that outsourcers are on average less capital intensive than other globalized firms.
