For domestically owned firms, the effect of imported inputs is relatively small and marginally significant. We thus find evidence that foreign-owned firms have a premium in terms of productivity gains from the use of imported inputs, compared to domestically owned firms. Our results suggest that ...
The authors estimated models for all exporters, direct exporters and indirect exporters using a probit model. The authors circumvented the endogeneity of imported inputs and productivity in the export status models by using their lagged values. The authors employed the World Bank Enterprise Survey dat...

In contrast, firms that export outside Africa alone, but do not use imported inputs in the production process have lower productivity compared to non-exporting firms. Policies that promote trade in intermediate inputs across borders can help to enhance productivity....
Imported Intermediate Inputs and Domestic Product Growth: Evidence from India Imported Malaria: Prospective Analysis of Problems in Diagnosis and Management Does the use of imported intermediates increase productivity? Plant-level evidence ☆ Metabolism and Compartmentation of Imported Sugars in Sink Organs ...
In the model, new imported inputs widen the set of available intermediates and thereby generate a ‘scale effect’ that raises productivity in research. In equilibrium, this efficiency gain leads to greater product creation and faster output growth. We then present an extension of this model in ...
Trade Liberalization, intermediate Inputs, and Productivity: Evidence from Indonesia This paper estimates the productivity gains from reducing tariffs on final goods and from reducing tariffs on intermediate inputs. Lower output tariffs can... MARY,AMITI,JOZEF,... - 《American Economic Review》 被引...
Briefly compare the welfare impact of tariff versus quota. Which one is more harmful and under what condition? Consider how to define what a tariff is and its economic effects. Explain how the international movement of products and factor inputs promotes an equalization of the factor prices among...
