This paper analyses firm’s decision to export and the geographical orientation of manufacturing firms in selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. It uses a dataset collected by Rankin, Söderbom, and Teal (2006) on manufacturing firms in Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania Nigeria and South Africa over the period 1991–2004. The paper develops a multinomial choice model of export destination in which profit maximizing firms choose between selling only on domestic market, export only to another African country, and export only outside Africa or export to both destinations. The model is estimated using a multinomial logistic regression. The paper finds evidence of a positive effect of firm size and firm efficiency on export decision and its geographical orientation, especially for the decision to export outside Africa. There is also significant industry, country and time effects in explaining export orientation. Unlike many previous studies, this paper finds that foreign ownership does not substantially determine firm decision to export. Using non-parametric regression, the paper finds that there is a lot of heterogeneity in the relation between the explanatory variables and the propensity to export or to export to various geographical destinations.

Abstrak Kawasan industri diyakini dapat mendukung perkembangan sektor industri di negara berkembang melalui fasilitas infrastruktur yang lebih baik, akses ke industri pendukung serta limpahan teknologi dan informasi. Ketiga faktor tersebut diperkirakan dapat mendorong produktivitas dan aktivitas ekspor perusahaan manufaktur di dalam kawasan industri. Berbagai penelitian terdahulu masih memberikan hasil yang beragam mengenai hubungan ketiga variabel ini. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara kawasan industri dengan tingkat produktivitas dan kegiatan ekspor pada studi kasus perusahaan manufaktur di Indonesia. Penelitian ini memperkenalkan penggunaan dari entropy balancing, salah satu teknik matching methods dengan unit analisis level data perusahaan. Perbedaan jumlah observasi yang cukup signifikan antara perusahaan di dalam dan di luar kawasan industri memotivasi penggunaan teknik matching methods agar data penelitian menjadi seimbang. Treatment (perlakuan) dari penelitian ini adalah ketika perusahaan berada di kawasan industri. Terdapat dua variabel keluaran yakni tingkat produktivitas dan aktivitas ekspor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berada di Kawasan Industri mendorong tingkat produktivitas, namun gagal untuk mempromosikan kegiatan ekspor.   Abstract Many believe that the industrial estate could encourage the industrial sector in developing countries due to its better infrastructure, access to supporting industries, and the market as well as technology and information spillover. These factors could lead to a higher productivity level and export activities of manufacturing firms inside the industrial estate. Some previous studies still provide a mixed result regarding the relationship between these three variables. Thus, this paper contributes to the related study by examining the relationship between an industrial estate and both productivity level and export activity in the case of Indonesian Manufacturing Firms. The paper introduces the practice of entropy balancing, one of matching methods along with firm-level data as a unit of analysis. A significant difference in the number of observations between firms inside and outside the industrial estate motivates the usage of matching methods technique, so the data become balanced. The treatment is when the firms being in the industrial estate. There are two outcomes variables, which are productivity level and export activity. The result found that being industrial estate improves firms’ productivity, yet it fails to promote export activity. JEL Classification: L23, L52, L60

The paper analyzes the shifts in government priorities in terms of support of big and medium manufacturing enterprises amid 2008—2009 and 2014—2015 crises. Based on the data of 2009, 2014 and 2018 surveys of Russian manufacturing firms, using logit regressions we identify factors that affect the receipt of financial and organizational support at different levels of government. The analysis shows that in 2012—2013 the share of manufacturing firms that received state support shrank significantly as compared to 2007—2008; moreover, the support concentrated on enterprises that had access to lobbying resource (such as state participation in the ownership or business associations membership). In 2016—2017 the scale of state support coverage recovered. However, the support at all levels of government was provided to firms that carried out investment and provided assistance to regional or local authorities in social development of the region, while the factor of state participation in the ownership became insignificant. The paper provides possible explanation for these shifts in the criteria of state support provision in Russia.

The paper considers the behavior of Russian enterprises during the current crisis using the data of the latest survey of 1000 manufacturing firms. Special attention is paid to features of firms planning big investment for the next 12 months. The links between current investment plans, previous investment in 2005-2008 and other factors are shown. Finally we analyze the most important barriers for doing business from the point of view of investors.

The aim of this study is to analyze empirically the impact of taxation and corruption on the growth of manufacturing firms in Vietnam. The study employed pooled OLS estimation and then instrument variables with fixed effect for the panel data of 1377 firms in Vietnam from 2005 to 2011. These data were obtained from the survey of the Central Institute for Economic Management and the Danish International Development Agency. The results show that both taxation and corruption are negatively associated with firm growth measured by firm sales adjusted according to the GDP deflator. A one-percentage point increase in the bribery rate is linked with a reduction of 16,883 percentage points in firm revenue, over four and a half times bigger than the effect of a one-percentage point increase in the tax rate. From the findings of this research, the author recommends the Vietnam government to lessen taxation on firms and that there should be an urgent revolution in anti-corruption policies as well as bureaucratic improvement in Vietnam.
