The Role of Export Market Participation in the Choice of Organizational Form of Production Technology*
研究发现出口企业资本劳动比更高是因为其生产技术资本密集度更高，出口决策前企业会重组生产技术以提高生产率，从而为全球市场竞争做准备。
This paper shows that the reason for a higher capital–labour ratio, observed for exporting firms, is a higher capital intensity of their production technology. Exporters choose to use different organizational forms of their production process, in which the share of capital and intermediate inputs in the final output is higher than that of non-exporters. The organization of the production process is part of the firm's organizational strategy, which generates within-industry heterogeneity in factor intensities and production technologies. The results of this study indicate that the decision to export is preceded by a process of restructuring production technology, which then has the effect of increasing a firms’ productivity and in so doing prepares them for competition in the global market.
