Innovazione e sviluppo industriale: limiti e opportunità per il sistema Italia
No full textIl settore manifatturiero, nonostante la contrazione registrata negli ultimi anni, continua a essere essenziale per lo sviluppo economico di un paese. Alcuni aspetti critici, come la propensione all’esportazione, la produttività, la dimensione aziendale e l’innovazione tecnologica incidono profondamente sulla sua evoluzione. In particolare, in Italia l’alto numero di PMI rischia di influire negativamente su questo settore e sulla sua predisposizione a investire nella ricerca e nell’innovazione, soprattutto in quella radicale, che comporta cioè un vero e proprio cambiamento del paradigma tecnologico. L’Industrial Compact e Horizon 2020 rappresentano, da questo punto di vista, delle strategie positive che, se ben attuate e accompagnate da finanziamenti adeguati, potrebbero portare grandi vantaggi alle nostre imprese

Export and Firm Performance: Evidence on Productivity and Profitability of Italian Companies

No full textThis work investigates how the export status of the firm influences the patterns of employment growth at different age classes. We address this research question resorting to a novel set of data that links together the universe of Italian firms and detailed data on export transactions. We find that the positive relationship between export status and growth declines with firm age. Further, we also find that, even when accounting for the role of age, the negative size-growth relationship does not disappear, contrary to some recent evidence. These results suggest a positive signaling role of the export status that is stronger for young exporters or born globals. Exploiting the product-country level dimension of the customs data, we also provide, for the first time, evidence on differences in exchange rates pass-through between young and experienced exporters. In particular, we find that early exporters appear to be better equipped than established firms to face exchange rates variations as their exports decrease less following a currency appreciation

Indirect exporters and importers
Full text linkThis paper analyses the relation between firms' productivity and the different modes of participation to international trade. In particular, we account for the
> possibility that firms can not only export their products, but also internationally source their inputs, either directly or indirectly. Using a cross section of firm-level data for several advanced and developing economies, the study confirms the productivity-sorting prediction according to which domestic firms are less efficient than those resorting to an export intermediary, while the latter are less productive than producers which export directly. We show that the same sorting exists also on the import side. Finally, we investigate the effects of source country characteristics on the sorting of firms into different modes of international trade.

Intermediaries in international trade: Products and destinations
No full textThis paper examines the factors that give rise to intermediaries in exporting and explores the implications for trade volumes. Export intermediaries such as wholesalers serve different markets and export different products than manufacturing exporters do. Wholesalers are more prevalent in markets with higher destination-specific fixed costs and focus on products that are less differentiated, have lower contract intensity, and have large sunk entry costs. Aggregate exports to destinations with high shares of indirect exports are less responsive to changes in the real exchange rate than are exports to markets served primarily by direct exporters
