Using Trading Firms to Export: What Can the French Experience Teach Us?
研究法国贸易公司在出口中的角色，发现中介处理的出口比例在拉丁欧洲国家集群中更高，且产品商品含量越高越倾向使用中介。
The article reports on a study relating to export intermediation by trading firms in France. Researchers found that trading firms handled a greater percentage of French exports going to countries within the Latin European cluster than exports bound for countries in the Germanic and Anglo clusters. The percentage of French exports handled by intermediaries was three times as high as when exports were bound for non-French-speaking countries. The results indicated that the higher the commodity content of their products the more likely French companies were to use export intermediaries.
