Export, Total factor productivity, Small- and medium-sized enterprises, Learning by exporting, Export destinationAbstract
By using two-step system GMM method, the study tests the learning mechanism by exporting hypothesis of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam from 2005 to 2013. The results show that export has a positive impact on total factor productivity at firm level. Moreover, the study finds reasons for an appearance of learning mechanism by exporting: (i) exporting firms receive technological transfers from developed countries; and (ii) exporting firms have enough capabilities to absorb knowledge generated by exporting.
