R&D Activities and Export Performance of Indian Private Firms
Get PDFThis paper formulates a model of optimal export decision of private firms and then empirically studies the effect of firm size, R&D activities and competitiveness on export performance of Indian private firms during the period 1975-1986. The paper argues that the Cragg model is more appropriate to model firms’ export behavior than the commonly used Tobit model. The evaluation of the export promotion and partial import liberalization policies of 1980 based on the Tobit model is found to be qualitatively quite different from the evaluation based on the Cragg model. The LR and LM specification tests reject the Tobit model against the Cragg model in all specifications.Exports, R&D, Price-Cost-Margin

His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr.

CBERN-NNK Knowledge Needs Research Summary:Report to the CBERN/Naskapi Steering Committee and the Naskapi Community
Get PDFThis report has been prepared for the Naskapi Steering Committee and the Naskapi community by Peter Siebenmorgen Research Assistantand Dr. Wesley Cragg, Project Director. The Canadian Business Ethics Research Network (CBERN) has been working in collaboration with the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach (NNK) since early 2007.

Working with Naskapi leadership, Dr. Cragg and Dr. Bradshaw developed a plan to identify community concerns and hopes for mining development on their traditional territory and provide access to the information and knowledge the community needed to address those concerns and hopes. The goal is to provide the community with the information it requires to benefit from development now taking place.The first step in the plan has now been completed. This report to the Naskapi community describes what the research team found.The second part of the plan is to improve access to information that will help the community address its concerns and realize its hopes for building a better and stronger future
