Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines a variety of characteristics besides size and industry which are able to influence a firm's export behaviour: namely, the propensity to take on work subcontracted by other firms, affiliation with a business group, and geographical location. As far as innovation variables are concerned, together with the intensity of R&D, the paper considers other qualitative indicators of innovation, with particular regard to the role played by innovative machinery and the relative importance of product versus process R&D. The results of Probit and Tobit estimates carried out on a sample of 3,659 Italian manufacturing firms are presented in Section III. |
